Monroe Farbe Bridge Ribbon Cutting

Community celebrates completion of important project in Avoyelles Parish

The completion of the new Monroe Farbe Bridge is a major accomplishment for the community and another important investment in the future of Avoyelles Parish.

The project will improve access for residents, make travel safer and more convenient, and help improve emergency response times for local fire departments and first responders.

Police Juror Jacob Coco recognized Boo Bernard and the residents who approached the Police Jury and advocated for the much-needed improvement, saying community involvement makes a difference and this project shows what can happen when residents speak up and work together.

Coco said it is an honor to be part of projects that improve the quality of life for residents and that each completed project is another step toward making District 9 and Avoyelles Parish stronger, safer and better for the people who call it home.

Family members joined local officials and residents for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, making the occasion even more special.

Residents, members of the Farbe family and local officials gather for the ribbon cutting marking completion of the Monroe Farbe Bridge project.
