Drivers in Ascension Parish should gear up for some delays as the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced a lane closure that will be impacting eastbound traffic next week. According to the DOTD's recent update, from next Monday, March 17 to Friday, March 21, the eastbound lane of LA 405 will be closed daily between Willie Thomas Road and Brou Road from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The closure, taking place during the working week, will allow for the replacement of utility poles along the mentioned stretch.
