Travelling to Pelican Point Golf Community - Still Difficult

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Executives South Louisiana
Pelican Point Golf Community

Visitors and residents alike have had to detour five miles to get to the Pelican Point Golf Community while the bridge on state highway 44 which spans the Panama Canal is being replaced. At the same time new drainage lines are being installed along Hwy. 44 causing further disruption of traffic. The project was started in June so the detour has been in effect throughout the peak real estate selling season. According the the LA DOTD website, the road is expected to be closed to traffic until January 18, 2008. I took the opportunity to visit the work site today and snap a few photos.

Digging Up Gas Line

Ever notice that on public works projects there always seems to be more guys watching than working? Anyway, today's project is to dig up and reinforce the underground gas line.

This post made me laugh. It reminded me of an example my former economics professor gave. He used highway workers standing around in relation to wasted work potential. =).
