Heads up, commuters and local travelers: ongoing roadwork in St. Charles Parish means you'll need to update your navigation apps and possibly allow for some extra travel time. Several road closures and partial lane obstructions are expected due to construction and maintenance activities, with specific details outlined for the affected routes.

According to St. Charles Parish's latest advisory, Ormond Center Court is currently closed due to construction, affecting the area from Rotolo's Pizza to Buddy's Frostop. Detours are in place, and traffic has been redirected to maintain vehicle movement. Additionally, northbound and southbound traffic on LA 633 (Magnolia Ridge Road) will experience alternating lane closures starting tomorrow at 6 a.m. through Thursday at 9 p.m., weather permitting. The work includes asphalt patching, striping, and other road improvements.

Weekday closures on LA 633 will continue to cause intermittent delays, with single-lane closures scheduled from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. for asphalt milling, overlay work, and soil placement. Both directions will be affected, with disruptions stretching between Maple Street and US 90, varying by date. In addition, roadside improvements will prompt alternating lane closures on US 90 between the St. Charles/Jefferson Parish Line and LA 3060 (Barton Avenue), also from Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., to accommodate the installation of new guardrails and concrete curbs.

Residents, business owners, and visitors to the area should prepare for possible delays and are encouraged to seek out alternative routes or adjust their schedules accordingly. All of the construction work is subject to favorable weather conditions, and given the reality of unpredictable springtime weather, it's worth keeping an eye out for updates. St. Charles Parish will continue to release information on these and other roadwork projects, ensuring that the public remains informed about the latest traffic news and detour updates.
