The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists to continue to remain cautious while traveling along Hwy 167 in Hodge, La, while road construction continues. 

After beginning with the removal of the asphaltic road material and replacing it with a concrete mix base on the outside lane of Hwy 167 from near Pine Street in Hodge to the railroad crossing by Smurfit Westrock work has now begun on the inside northbound lane and center lane. 

Both sides of the highway have been narrowed to one lane of traffic beginning at the intersection of Hwy 147 and Hwy 167 to around East Street in Hodge, with speed being restricted to 35 mph in the construction zone.
