Drivers navigating through Ascension Parish, take note: LA 74 will be a game of red light, green light for the next two weeks. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced lane closures that will impact both eastbound and westbound traffic. Starting yesterday, crews worked on utility lines and poles, a necessary inconvenience to meet the area's infrastructural needs.
With closures scheduled between Airline Highway/US 61 and CCs Drive, only one lane will be under construction at a time to minimize disruption. However, as the work advances, closures will alternate directions, which will last daily from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM until Wednesday, March 26. Given thst driving through construction zones requires a sort of peering through the veil of the present, drivers are advised to stay alert. To aid in the repair efforts of Entergy, motorists have been forewarned of possible delays.
While patience might be tested during these alternating lane closures, DOTD has expressed its gratitude for public cooperation. Motorists are reminded to take care when passing through the zone, watching for signs of life in construction workers and the stationary dance of their equipment. Information about the closure is provided by Clint Colomb from Entergy, who can be contacted at 225-964-0461 for additional queries.
