Commuters in Destrehan and throughout St. Charles Parish need to prepare to adjust their routes this week as multiple road closures are set to impact local and state roadways. In particular, Ormond Center Court will be closed from Rotolo's Pizza to Buddy's Frostop for road construction, with a detour available for vehicle traffic to navigate the obstruction, according to the St. Charles Parish announcement from parish officials.
Significant interruptions are also expected starting January 27, as the southbound lanes of Ormond Blvd. between Thomas Colby and Elmwood Drive will periodically need to close during specific times. These closures are planned to accommodate school hours and may continue until February 14, potentially including entire days throughout the weekends. To help detour, traffic will be redirected, moving westward at Thomas Colby, then turning south onto Schexnaydre Lane, as reported by the St. Charles Parish
Local residents navigating within the restricted area between Thomas Colby and Wildcat Lane will be compelled to use adjacent cross streets to perform a U-turn, aiming northbound towards either Thomas Colby or Airline Drive, as lane closures will not affect northbound travelers on Ormond Blvd, as per the St. Charles Parish.
In addition, a recurring single lane closure on US 90 is in effect for those traveling both westbound and eastbound. The start date was on Sunday, with an end date projected for February 14. The partial closure, caused by roadway patching, will occur nightly from 6 PM until 6 AM the following morning. Motorists should observe and follow detour signs and be prepared to adjust their driving routes accordingly. The specifics of these disruptions were detailed in a recent St. Charles Parish announcement.
