Attention Ascension Parish drivers: Starting now until April 18, Entergy will be doing utility work on LA 74, including line and pole repairs. Be prepared for alternating lane closures that may affect your commute, as reported by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The work is set to take place between the busy strips of Airline Highway/US 61 and CCs Drive where the closures will be ongoing from 8 in the morning till 3:30 in the afternoon every day.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is asking everyone to exercise a bit of patience and, more importantly, to stay safe by driving cautiously through the work zones—keep an eye out for the crews and their gear so everyone goes home in one piece. For the official word on this, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has put out a statement detailing the whole shebang: "As work progresses along LA 74, the closures will shift accordingly," and for those roads where utility lines cross your path, the department assures that "only a single-lane closure will be implemented at any given time."
Remember, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development issues these advisories to keep everyone safe—drivers and workers. They appreciate your patience and remind you to slow down in construction zones. Getting to your destination safely is more important than rushing through a work area.
