Entergy rebuilds transmission line across Mississippi River that Hurricane Ida knocked down

The Entergy transmission line that crosses the Mississippi River and brings power to metro New Orleans has been replaced, company officials said Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, nearly a year after Hurricane Ida toppled the power line.

The transmission line crosses the river from Avondale to Harahan and has two massive towers on either side. Ida knocked over the tower on the Harahan side, causing the line to fall into the river.

The line is one of eight that bring power to metro New Orleans, Entergy said.
