Louisiana has not modernized ports from the mouth of river to Baton Rouge. River pilots, lack of containers traffic and failing to take advantage of the Panama Canal. Mobile, Tampa, Charleston, Savannah and Jax have taken advantage of the canal widening.

The time has come for the state to seriously consider a major new port. Somewhere with a lot of land around it, so we can build new road/interstate and rail connections to it. Our current ports don't have that.
There's talk of a new container port in St. Bernard. It would come with a direct connector of sorts in the form of a highway from 510 directly to the port, and new rail access as well.
