BATON ROUGE, La. -- Louisiana officials will ask Congress for more than $31 billion to rebuild and improve levees and major roadways damaged by hurricanes in the past month, Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco said Sunday. Blanco said more than $20 billion will be needed to beef up levees and pump stations from Morgan City north and east to New Orleans and Slidell, around the shores of Lake Pontchartrain and in the Atchafalaya River basin. Another $11.5 billion will be needed for road work, including the replacement of the Interstate 10 causeway between New Orleans and Slidell, the improvement of major evacuation routes and repairs to ports and airports damaged by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
