Residents of St. Charles Parish should prepare for traffic adjustments as ongoing road construction and closures are expected to impact local commutes. According to an announcement from St. Charles Parish, construction on the Kerry’s Pointe ramp lift began yesterday and is anticipated to cause several weeks of delays between Badeaux Lane and Kerry’s Pointe. Additionally, travel through Destrehan will be affected by the closure of Jonathan Street through May 17. In the event of emergencies, vehicles will be rerouted via Lorraine Street to Noel Street.
In a curious move, emergency vehicles are being asked to avoid using Lorraine Street, opting for Gordon Street to Noel Street instead. As Destrehan's Ormond Center Court faces obstructions, traffic from Rotolo's Pizza up to Buddy's Frostop will be rerouted. Heads up, if you're planning to use the Bonnet Carre' Spillway Road between Norco and Montz— it's shut down indefinitely due to water deciding to trek across the road.
More specific details from the same St. Charles Parish update, reveal other state road closures. On LA 3127, both northbound and southbound lanes will undergo partial closure for asphalt patching from May 5 to May 9 between I-310 and the St Charles / St John Parish Line. Commuters who frequently use US 90 should brace for rolling operations affecting single lanes for striping operations during the same dates.
Another significant adjustment on LA 48 (River Rd) involves an alternating lane closure that will affect drivers until May 16, as crews perform drain cleaning and catch basin repairs. These intermittent interruptions, occurring on weekdays, span from LA 49 (Williams Blvd) to I-310. The work, with alternating lane closures and flagging, is part of efforts to maintain the city's infrastructure, though it may cause some immediate traffic delays.
