Attention drivers in Jefferson Parish, road construction could impact your weekend and weekday travels. According to Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), both northbound and southbound lanes on LA 49 (Williams Blvd) between I-10 and W Metairie Ave will experience partial closures due to roadwork scheduled to begin on Saturday, April 26, at 5:00 AM and end the same day at 6:00 PM, weather permitting.
The construction will involve alternating lane closures, affecting both left and right lanes. Motorists passing through the area during this time should be prepared for potential delays and are advised to consider alternative routes if possible. For those stuck on their path, patience will be as much a necessity as fuel in the tank, as per the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.

Starting Monday, April 28, additional recurring alternating single lane closures on LA 49 are set from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily until Friday, May 2. This phased roadwork is crucial for the ongoing roadway construction efforts aimed at improving travel in the long term, as repiorted by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
