State transportation officials are still working on a decision as to where a new bridge over the Mississippi River will be built.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development started with a list of 32 potential locations, and have narrowed it down to 20

A spokesman for the agency says they're waiting for Congress to pass the appropriations for the funding, but that won't happen until the bridge's location is decided.

The goal is to narrow the list to three by the spring, at which time public meetings on the bridge will begin.
