Motorists in Lafourche Parish should brace for bridge inspections that'll lead to closures on LA 657 Northbound, LA 657 Southbound, and Bayou Lafourche. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announcement, the closures are scheduled to start on Tuesday, May 27, at 10:00 AM and are expected to last until Tuesday, June 10, at 5:00 PM.
The roadwork is necessary for a bridge inspection and is part of an ongoing infrastructure evaluation effort. The specific inspection falls under the project H.014998.6. For those planning routes through the area during this period, alternatives paths should be considered. The closure type has been categorized as 'Roadwork', and it's a move aimed at ensuring both the safety of the travelers and the longevity of the bridges, as reported by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
While the inspections may cause some inconvenience, the thorough examination of the bridges is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and safety for all who traverse these crossings. More detailed information about detours and the precise sections affected by the roadwork can be found on the official Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development website.
