Commuters in Jefferson Parish should prepare for midday traffic adjustments tomorrow. According to an announcement from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), roadwork will require the closure of the northbound LA 3046 (Causeway Blvd) loop from Jefferson Hwy to Causeway Blvd. The construction, scheduled to take place weather permitting, will occur between 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM, disrupting traffic flow for those who use this route.

The specific interval of the closure will affect drivers attempting to access the Causeway Blvd on-ramp from Jefferson Hwy. While the roadwork takes place, a detour will redirect vehicles, making them to perform a U-turn just past Claiborne Dr, as per the DOTD's announcement.
