Kapsch TrafficCom Secures 50-Year Tolling Contract for Louisiana Bridge Project

Kapsch TrafficCom has announced its selection as the Tolling Contractor for the Interstate 10 Calcasieu River Bridge project in Louisiana. This significant Public Private Partnership (P3) initiative is led by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) and Calcasieu Bridge Partners (CBP).

The tolling portion of the I-10 Project is valued at USD 230 million over fifty years. Kapsch TrafficCom will provide end-to-end tolling services and system integration. The project aims to improve traffic on the vital I-10 corridor in Lake Charles, enhancing infrastructure, safety, mobility, and economic growth in Southwest Louisiana.

The I-10 Project, valued at USD 2.1 billion, includes constructing a new bridge, interstate corridor improvements, and service roads. Kapsch TrafficCom will supply roadside and back office systems, offering operational support. The tolling system will begin after the bridge opens, ensuring efficient toll collection.

JB Kendrick, President at Kapsch TrafficCom North America, expressed honor in participating in this transformative project, highlighting the 50-year contract as a testament to their technology and expertise.
