The Bayou Bridge Pipeline extension will connect major Louisiana hubs at Lake Charles and St. James. It is an extension of the current pipeline starting at Nederland, Texas. This 163-mile route will maintain Louisiana's growth and provide millions of dollars in benefits to the state.

The construction of Bayou Bridge Pipeline will generate about 2,500 construction jobs, and support many other local businesses. In fact, all the pipe used in the Bayou Bridge Pipeline is sourced right in Louisiana, from Stupp Corporation.

The Bayou Bridge Pipeline will be installed along a route that is 88% parallel to other infrastructure already in place. The pipeline will be buried a minimum of 3 feet underground across the entirety of the route, with additional depth under wetlands, agricultural fields, roads and other sensitive areas. All construction areas will be restored to pre-construction contours and elevations, with a particular focus on conservation of the Atchafalaya Basin. This means restoring the right-of-way and work areas to natural grade similar to undisturbed adjacent lands or wetlands.

The Department of Transportation and independent studies have consistently demonstrated that modern pipelines are the safest means of transporting energy goods, while bolstering regional and national energy independence and security.
