The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD)  announces that a section of LA Hwy 811, located approximately 2.3 miles east of US 167 near North Hodge in Jackson Parish, will be closed to through traffic beginning Saturday, March 28. 

The road closure is anticipated to last 1 day, and the highway should be reopened for through traffic on Sunday, March 29th, 2026, weather permitting.
