Heads up, drivers in Jefferson Parish: expect some delays next week as road construction kicks off on LA 3154 (Hickory Ave). According to a recent announcement from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, northbound and southbound traffic will be hit with alternating lane closures starting Monday, April 28, at 8:30 AM, and is expected to wrap up by Friday, May 2 at 6:00 PM, weather permitting. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's announcement details closures for both left and right lanes between 9th St and LA 48 (Jefferson Hwy).
For those planning their commute, it's important to note, this roadway construction will feature a recurring alternating single lane closure. Drivers should be prepared for partial closures, as they'll be funneled into whichever lane is open at any given time during construction hours, which will run from Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 6 PM. Though the bulk of the disruption is slated for weekday daylight hours, the ripples of slowdown may well extend into the evenings as the post-work rush gets underway, as reported by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
Project H.014777, listed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, is focused on improving a busy road used by many each day. While the upgrades will make the road safer and better in the long run, drivers should expect some short-term delays. To avoid traffic, consider carpooling, working from home, or taking a different route during construction.
