Work is underway on WSLP-109, part of the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain hurricane and storm risk reduction system. Before our crews can begin building the levee, they first need a safe and reliable way to access the work area.
These photos show our team constructing a sand access road through unstable marsh terrain using specialized marsh excavators and dozers. The road will provide a more stable route for our employees, heavy equipment and materials as construction moves forward.
Cycle is responsible for approximately one mile of the larger 18.5-mile levee system, including levee embankment and concrete monolith floodwalls at a pipeline crossing. This important hurricane and storm risk reduction project will help provide greater protection for communities in St. John the Baptist, St. Charles and St. James parishes.
Safety starts with access, and this road helps create the foundation for the work ahead.
