Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) is supporting the Hwy 1 Terracing Extension in Lafourche Parish through its 2025 Parish Matching Program, a targeted investment that expands ongoing coastal protection efforts and helps safeguard communities and essential transportation corridors.

According to CPRA, this extension will construct approximately 20,000 linear feet of earthen terraces to help reduce wave energy and provide added protection for LA Highway 1 and nearby levees, building on the larger Hwy 1 Terracing and Living Shoreline project currently under construction.
