New Orleans Landbridge Project

About this Project

This large-scale marsh creation project is located in eastern New Orleans on a landbridge separating Lake Pontchartrain from Lake Borgne, which is the major control on the potential flow of hurricane surge into Lake Pontchartrain. The exposure to wave energy and storm surge has resulted in rapid retreat of the shoreline and the expansion of ponds and lakes within the marsh. The New Orleans East Landbridge Restoration project will create and restore marsh via a sediment conveyance pipeline.  Timbalier Resources served as CPRA's lead land service contractor helping secure necessary servitude interest for the States' New Orleans Landbridge Project.  Timbalier also provided a custom online pipeline and utility report for the state to place all operators on notice of the upcoming project.
