Commuters in Belle Chasse should expect lane closures and traffic changes as the Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement Project progresses to its next phase. The schedule, which is subject to weather conditions, may be adjusted, but the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has provided details on the upcoming disruptions.
Starting today, from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m., northbound traffic on LA 23 is to quickly adjust to two-way flow from Dale Ave. to L St. This pattern will persist until tomorrow, with similar hours and traffic management, according to Louisiana DOTD's announcement. As the nocturnal curtain falls on Wednesday, another change comes: a detour on Engineers Rd and a southbound lane closure from Burmaster to Engineers Rd.
By March 30, the impact further unfolds as two-way traffic shifts to the southbound carriageway across the new bridge from Dale Ave to L St, necessitating the closure of the Burmaster intersection and the adjacent turning lane. These adjustments are pivotal as the infrastructure project inches closer to completion.
Starting March 31, two-way traffic will once again be directed northbound across the new bridge, but this time the closure will extend to include the Burmaster turning lane and the nearby Barriere Rd. intersection.
For the most up-to-date information on lane closures and detours, it is recommended to check the Louisiana DOTD's announcement page for real-time updates and any changes to the schedule.
