The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) advises motorists that the northbound US 167 traffic is being shifted to allow construction of the two northbound lanes and center turn lane at the intersection of LA 147 and US 167. 

This traffic shift will last until Monday, December 15th at 6:00 am. Southbound US 167 traffic will also be reduced to one lane during this time period, and the LA 147 intersection will also remain open.

Beginning Friday, December 19th at 6:00 pm, LA 147 will be closed at its intersection with US 167 and detoured to LA 155 (Detour will be signed). US 167 will remain open, but the two southbound lanes will be closed, and southbound traffic will be shifted to the center turn lane beginning at 6:00 pm on December 19th to 6:00 am December 22nd, weather permitting. 

The lane closures are part of the continuing project SP H.016050.6 that began at the intersection of Hunt St. in Hodge, LA, involving milling of the asphalt roadway, and placement of an ultra-thin concrete whitetopping surfacing, and related work.
