The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) advises motorists that on Sunday, September 15, 2024, Hwy. LA 499 near Chatham, will be closed approximately 3 miles south of LA 4.

This closure, which was originally set for Friday, September 13th was scheduled to end on Sunday but inclement weather delayed the start of the work that is necessary to allow DOTD to replace a cross drain pipe. The closure is now expected to last until mid week. 

Restrictions/Permits: Total road closure at the specified location. All vehicles must detour.

Safety reminder: DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
