Construction is now underway on St. Tammany Parish's most expensive roadway construction project ever.
Groundbreaking took place on Monday on a bypass in Mandeville that will connect State Highway 1088 and US 190. The alternate route will relief traffic congestion on State Highway 59 and Soult Street.
Parish sales taxes and the city of Mandeville are funding the $34 million road, which will improve access to Pelican Park and Fontainebleau State Park.
The project is expected to take about two years to finish.
