The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has postponed a planned ribbon-cutting ceremony for the $23 million LED lighting project on the Crescent City Connection due to a glitch that affected a small section of the lights. Public information officer Daniel Gitlin reported that the issue arose the night before, though the cause remains unclear, and emphasized that the project is still ahead of schedule by two months. The new lighting system replaces an outdated infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Ida, with contractors now investigating the cause of the glitch and potential safeguards.
