Commuters in St. Charles Parish may want to factor in a bit of extra time for their drives next week, as roadwork is set to take place along both directions of LA 3127. A recurring single lane closure is scheduled from Monday, May 19, starting at 6:00 AM, until Friday, May 23, at 5:00 PM, if the weather allows. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the closures are for planned asphalt patching operations along the busy stretch.
The roadwork is anticipated to temporarily affect traffic flow, potentially causing delays. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists to be aware of the work zone and to drive carefully through the construction area. "Partial Closure/ Other," as noted in the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announcement, means that drivers should stay alert and follow any posted detour signs and directions from traffic controllers. To thoroughly prepare for this inconvenience, travelers might need to adjust their routes or leave earlier to ensure timely arrival at their destinations.
The affected areas are between the beginning cross street of I-310 and the ending cross street at the St. John / St. Charles Parish Line. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has indicated that the exact timing of the closures is set to be from 6 AM to 5 PM each day during the work period. Drivers who frequently use this route should note that this schedule might vary based upon weather conditions or other unforeseen factors that impact construction work.
