Months ago Vermilion Parish and Lafayette officials decided to take action on reconstruction of the Robley Street bridge that joins the two parishes in the north. While both sides agreed that the project was a priority, one issue held up the progress: money.

Motorists were surprised Wednesday morning when they approached the drawbridge on old Hwy 14 in Abbeville and saw a “bridge out” sign.

According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD), repairs were done on the bridge the previous Sunday.
