Groundbreaking set for Perkins Road Overpass project

The Perkins Road Overpass project in Baton Rouge is set to begin on July 13, 2025, after delays caused by construction scheduling and permit issues. The $2.5 million project includes a multi-use trail, new signs, parking, and lighting to improve safety and connectivity. Local business owners, including Jordan Piazza of The Colonel’s Club, express frustration over delays and concerns about parking disruptions during peak tourist seasons.
