Hammond seeks parish help to repair aging bridges

Mayor Tom Anderson will ask the Tangipahoa Parish Police Jury to assist with repairing aging city bridges in Hammond. City engineer Bill Bodin said pilings and floor boards are in bad shape and six to eight bridges may need maintenance. The city may divert drainage funds if needed while the Pear Street and Natchez Street bridges were barricaded for repairs. The mayor also plans enforcement of junked vehicle disposal and demolition orders for abandoned buildings. He urged action against Illinois Central Gulf railroad crossings blocking streets, noting trains slow to about 10 mph in the city and should not exceed five minutes at crossings.
