The Hwy 167 lane resurfacing project, where the asphaltic road material is being replaced with a concrete mix overlay in front of Smurfit Westrock in Hodge, LA, is nearing completion. 

After completing the resurfacing on all but one lane of traffic, construction is now being done on the outside southbound lane from the railroad crossing to just past Smurfit Westrock. 

Both sides of the highway are still 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.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) advises motorists to observe posted speed signs and continue to remain on the lookout for construction equipment and personnel while the road construction continues.

LA Hwy 4 East Now Open To Thru Traffic

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) advises motorists that as of Monday, December 8th, the section of LA Hwy 4, located approximately 0.2 miles east of LA 811, near Weston, has now been reopened to thru traffic. 

The road closure, which was posted on Saturday, December 6th, was necessary to allow for the replacement of a cross-drain pipe that was impacting the integrity of the roadway.
