摘要：	In July 2021, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for a new hurricane protection system designed to shield communities along the southwestern shore of Lake Pontchartrain from storm surge. First studied after Hurricane Betsy in 1965, the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain Project, authorized in 2016 and fully funded with $760 million from the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, will be made up of 17.5 miles of levees, a mile of T-wall, additional drainage structures, pumping stations and other non-structural protection features. The system will run from near where the Bonnet Carre Spillway meets Lake Pontchartrain west to near Garyville, where it will tie in to the Mississippi River. But less than two years later, the New Orleans Engineer District now estimates the actual price tag for the project will be more than $3.7 billion-an increase of $2.97 billion from the original price.
