WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) today announced Louisiana will receive $5,110,200 from his Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) for road improvements across the state. Specifically, the funding will allow communities across Louisiana to create action plans to address and prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.
