Metairie residents and commuters, take note of the roadwork scheduled on West Metairie Avenue. Jefferson Parish officials have announced that both eastbound lanes at the intersection of West Metairie Avenue and David Drive will be shut down come next Monday. Starting from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. on April 21, 2025, this closure will facilitate the placement of a crane in the street necessary for the replacement of AC chillers atop the traffic court's rooftop.
For weekday commuters, detours will be clearly marked, and drivers should plan for extra travel time. The work is on a tight schedule, with plans to reopen the road by the end of the day and finish everything by April 21, weather permitting. This maintenance is part of ongoing efforts to keep up with the needs of a growing city.
For those seeking alternative routes, detailed detour information can be found on the Jefferson Parish website. Officials have promised that signage will be clear and that traffic control measures will be in place to assist drivers in navigating around the closure.
