Travelers on US 190 West in Pointe Coupee Parish should expect disruptions due to roadwork on the Morganza Floodway Bridge. A partial lane closure will occur on February 4, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, affecting the right lane of the westbound side, about 4.7 miles west of LA 81, according to the Department of Transportation and Development.
The Department of Transportation and Development announcement states that during work hours, vehicles wider than 10 feet are not allowed through the construction zone. Drivers are advised to reduce speed and stay alert due to expected traffic backup caused by construction on the 4-foot bridge.
The Department of Transportation and Development is closing the right lane for utility work, which may cause stop-and-go traffic. Drivers are advised to "please drive with caution through the work zone and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment." Traffic updates and alternate routes are available to help avoid delays.
