Attention drivers in Metairie: prepare for some mid-week detours as a key road closure is set to take place. According to a recent announcement on the Jefferson Parish website, both eastbound lanes of West Metairie Avenue at David Drive will be out of commission temporarily. The closure will occur from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, forcing motorists to seek alternative routes.
This disruption, necessary for the positioning of a crane directly in the street, will facilitate the replacement of AC chillers on the traffic court building. While the work is scheduled for completion by tomorrow, it remains contingent upon the benevolence of local weather patterns. During the closure, motorists should follow detour signs and adjust their routes accordingly.
Residents and visitors to the area should plan ahead to avoid possible delays. Shayne Perez from the General Services Department is the point of contact for those seeking further information on this matter. Perez can be reached at (504)-736-6054, ready to assist with any inquiries or concerns regarding the upcoming roadwork.
