Commuters and residents of Jefferson Parish are advised to prepare for potential delays along LA 49 (Williams Boulevard) next week due to scheduled roadwork. Beginning Monday, April 21, 2025, at 9:00 AM, construction will commence on both the northbound and southbound lanes of LA 49, between West Metairie Avenue and I-10. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, partial closures of both the left and right lanes will be in effect until the project is completed on Friday, April 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM, weather permitting.
For those looking to get somewhere on-time, the pattern of the closure will be a recurring single lane closure during nodding hours from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has indicated that alternating lane closures will be in effect throughout these periods. Commuters can expect some inconvenience as the construction work affects daily traffic in the area.
Understanding that roadwork is necessary for the advancement and upkeep of our city's infrastructure, let patience prevail as we navigate these temporary road adjustments. Stay informed with real-time traffic updates and seek out alternative routes when possible to ease your travel experiences during this time.
