The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced that the LA Hwy 148 bridge at Okaloosa Road in Jackson Parish is closed effective immediately.

The bridge closure is due to necessary deck repairs. The closure is located approximately three miles southeast of the Town of Eros.

DOTD crews are assessing the bridge and a timeline for repairs will be provided when it becomes available. Alternate routes have not been established at this time.

DOTD asks drivers to be mindful of crews working while driving in the area as workers and equipment will be entering and exiting the roadways.
