I see where KTBS has posted that the Jimmy Davis Bridge is not going to be renovated and therefore, won't get painted purple. LDOTD will use the money to design and plan a new 4 lane bridge to replace it. The area certainly needs the capacity a 4 lane bridge would provide. But it will be years coming for sure.

But the really good news is, the old bridge isn't going to get painted purple!
