Heads up, drivers in Amelia—LA 182 at Bayou Boeuf Bridge is hitting a brief pause. The Department of Transportation and Development announced a scheduled closure that will take place on Monday, March 24, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., provided the weather agrees. The reason? It's time for those routine checks that keep the bridge safe for all.
Plan your day accordingly if you usually cruise this route. The closure is necessary to allow crews the space and safety to perform routine bridge inspections. Yes, that means a slight detour is in the cards—drivers will need to take the scenic route along Lake Palourde By-Pass Road, hop onto US 90, and then catch LA 662 to circle back around.
According to the DOTD's announcement, patience will be a virtue during this time. They're sending out a gentle reminder for drivers to keep an eye out for work crews and their gear.
