Total roadway reconstruction

Overhauling an industrial corridor

 

St. Martin Parish is advancing a critical upgrade along Petroleum Parkway—

a span supporting

nearly 50 industrial businesses.

 

 

The work underway is a complete rebuild, correcting the underlying issues that have challenged this stretch for years.

 

 

Today, we join Engineer Josh Laborde, P.E., on site as crews carry out critical construction activities, including:

 

‣ Removing existing asphalt and preparing the roadway for Portland cement concrete pavement

‣ Regrading roadside ditches to reestablish consistent flow

‣ Replacing mis-sized pipes and correcting skewed inverts

‣ Installing new culverts and reconstructing concrete driveways along the route

‣ Setting major drainage structures using survey-verified elevations

 

These improvements:

‣ strengthen pavement durability,

‣ reduce future maintenance, and

‣ significantly improve stormwater conveyance—

critical for a heavily traveled industrial route in South Louisiana’s flat terrain.

 

For projects like this, accuracy beneath the surface matters. Every elevation, slope, and tie-in influences performance across the entire corridor. By correcting foundational deficiencies and rebuilding the roadway in concrete, the parish secures a long-lasting, high-performing infrastructure asset for its community and industry.

 

Fenstermaker is proud to support St. Martin Parish Government in delivering safer, stronger, more resilient infrastructure for the community.
