The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is in the process of enhancing road safety by installing "Prepare to Stop" beacons along US 165 and LA 139 as part of a $1.1 million effort that kicked off last November 18. With a scope that stretches from intersection to intersection, the construction activity is poised to bolster signalization and related work along these routes.
Detailing the project, this initiative spans from the path where US 165 meets LA 15 to its crossroads with LA 2, extending even to where LA 139 intersects with LA 594. The venture is slated for completion by the summer of 2025, though the endgame is, as always, at the mercy of the elements and other unpredictable construction game-changers.
According to the announcement published on the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's website, this improvement work "will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING." A customary safety reminder accompanied the update, urging the public to maintain vigilance while navigating near the construction sites, stressing the presence of work crews and their gear that will be sharing the roads. Forward-looking residents should keep a sharp eye and exercise careful judgment whether they're behind the wheel, on foot, or biking through these zones of change and progress.
For those interested in staying abreast of the timeline or seeking further details, they may find more information through the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's announcement.
