BENTON – The Bossier Parish Police Jury on Wednesday declared “a threat to public safety and welfare” from erosion of land on Red River near Plain Dealing that threatens to close Louisiana Highway 537 and wash out a new million-dollar bridge.
Residents, landowners and farmers in the Wardview Bottoms area west of Plain Dealing appealed to the jury to support their efforts to secure federal action to stop erosion in a deep curve of the river near the highway.
