Highway, street, and bridge construction in Louisiana (NAICS 237310)
Highway-construction awards coded to Louisiana sit in a low-eight-figure obligation cell. USAspending.gov records $29,178,990.75 in Highway, Street, And Bridge Construction (NAICS 237310) obligations with Louisiana place of performance, across 131 awards. 131 awards against $29.2 million is a moderate construction book, not a handful of mega-causeway contracts and not a flood of tiny overlay orders. Implied mean obligation per award is about $222,740. This page is the NAICS-and-state join, not Louisiana’s STIP, a causeway census, or cash already paid.

NAICS 237310 dollars tagged to Louisiana
NAICS 237310 and geography LA meet in this cell. $29,178,990.75 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not Louisiana’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 237310 is highway, street, and bridge construction, not building construction and not dredging. The pair is the only object this page measures.
131 awards sit beside $29,178,990.75. 131 awards against $29.2 million is a moderate construction book, not a handful of mega-causeway contracts and not a flood of tiny overlay orders. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 131 as a roster of plants, crews, or patients would misread award records as people. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet.
Open Louisiana federal spending for every industry coded to the state, NAICS 237310 for the code without a state filter, Louisiana industries for the state industry index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $29,178,990.75.
Highways and bridges, not dredging or buildings
NAICS 237310 is highway, street, and bridge construction, not building construction and not dredging. Sibling NAICS codes stay on other industry pages: Other heavy and civil engineering (237990) and commercial building construction (236220) are different pages. Mixing those dollars into $29,178,990.75 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 237310 is the only industry key on this Louisiana tie.
Dividing $29,178,990.75 by 131 awards yields about $222,740 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Coastal-highway folklore is easy to paste onto a 237310 cell. This packet does not name projects or primes. The packet has no fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history.
Louisiana geography on a highway-construction cell
Louisiana place of performance can cover I-10, coastal routes, New Orleans, or a reporting address. The packet has no project list. New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or a named causeway share the LA place-of-performance tag inside $29,178,990.75. This extract does not publish a city or county split. Naming one campus as the whole Louisiana book adds a label the facts do not carry.
Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to another state do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Louisiana. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a supply chain. Louisiana federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to LA.
Obligations, not outlays, on Louisiana 237310
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $29,178,990.75 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in Louisiana over-reads the field. 131 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a beneficiary roster. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 237310 in Louisiana.
What the highway–Louisiana pair does not prove
A large highway construction total in Louisiana does not mean the industry caused the state’s economy, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Coastal-highway folklore is easy to paste onto a 237310 cell. This packet does not name projects or primes. Keep $29,178,990.75 labeled as NAICS 237310 obligations with Louisiana place of performance. NAICS 237310 is the national industry hub; Louisiana industries lists other codes in the state; All spending ties indexes other pairs.
