Commuters in and around St. Charles Parish, take note: the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is rolling out the orange barrels along US 90 starting from April 28 to May 2. According to Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development 's announcement, roadwork is scheduled to begin at 8:00 AM sharp on Monday and wrap up by 4:00 PM on Friday, weather permitting.
The construction work will result in partial closures along both the westbound and eastbound lanes of US 90, between the Jefferson/St. Charles Parish line and LA 3060 (Barton Ave), the work is going to focus on installing guardrails, erecting signs, as well as placement of rip rap and conducting seeding & fertilizer operations, all of which aim to improve the safety and longevity of this busy stretch of highway. Motorists are advised to plan accordingly, as the alternating lane closure could mean additional travel time or the need for detours during the specified hours, as reported by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
Special attention has been directed toward ensuring drivers are aware of the closure schedules to accommodate their daily movements without significant disruption. The updates are especially pertinent to those who regularly traverse the St. Charles Parish area or plan to during the early days of May.
Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has emphasized that these infrastructure enhancements are crucial in maintaining road standards and ensuring motorist safety, despite the inconvenience that such projects inevitably cause to daily traffic patterns. Residents and through drivers are being encouraged to heed construction signs, be mindful of road crews, and to keep an eye out for further updates as the roadwork progresses during this initial week of May.
