Harvey's trusted personal injury lawyers. Fighting for accident victims on the Westbank.
Harvey sits at the center of the Westbank, bisected by the Harvey Canal — a major industrial waterway that drives commercial truck traffic through residential and commercial areas. Manhattan Boulevard, the community's main north-south artery, crosses the canal and connects to the Westbank Expressway, handling a mix of local traffic, commercial vehicles, and commuters heading to and from the Crescent City Connection.
The Harvey Canal industrial zone generates a distinct accident profile. Trucks carrying industrial equipment, chemicals, and construction materials travel between canal-side facilities and the expressway on roads that pass through commercial and residential areas. These vehicles make wide turns at intersections not designed for their size, creating blind-spot hazards for passenger vehicles, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.
The Westbank Expressway through Harvey has some of the narrowest shoulders and shortest merge lanes in the metro area. The Terry Parkway and Manhattan Boulevard interchanges are consistently among the highest-accident locations on the Westbank. During evening rush hour, stop-and-go conditions on the expressway produce chain-reaction rear-end collisions.
Lapalco Boulevard's eastern section through Harvey also sees significant accident volume, particularly near the commercial clusters around Manhattan and Fourth Street. The intersection density in this area — with signals, stop signs, and uncontrolled driveways all within short distances — overloads drivers' attention and leads to failure-to-yield crashes.
