The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that on Saturday, May 16th, and Sunday, May 17th,  a section of LA 146 in Jackson Parish will be closed to through traffic. The road closure was originally scheduled for May 9th, but due to inclement weather, the project had to be rescheduled.

The closure area is located approximately 2.0 miles northwest of the intersection with LA 4 and is necessary to replace a cross-drain pipe that is compromising the roadway’s integrity.

DOTD reminds motorists to NEVER drive around ‘road closed’ barricades at any time for any reason.

Restrictions/Permits:

Total road closure at the specified location. All vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route.

Alternate Route:

Detour signage will be in place.

This work will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING.

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.
