WHAT WILL BE THE TOTAL BILL FOR THE WALTER O. BIGBY CARRIAGEWAY?

Hmmm.

What will the total cost of this extension of the Arthur Ray Teague Parkway that will extend to Benton Road?

Who knows?

The Bossier City Council approved change orders numbered six through eight at its Tues. meeting.

These totaled $289 thousand and some change.

More change orders can be expected.

The latest guestimate for the total cost is in the neighborhood of $39 million.

The next big question is how much traffic will utilize the extension. Put another way how much will it relieve some of the traffic congestion on Benton Road?
