For those navigating through Jefferson and Orleans Parish this week, be prepared to adjust your routes. Lane closures are set to take place on LA 428 (Berhman Pl) as the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced planned construction works. The right lane closures will affect both northbound and southbound directions from LA 23 (Belle Chasse Hwy) to Gen DeGaulle Dr., starting from tonight, until Thursday night, May 29.
The closures will commence each night at 6 PM and are expected to last until 7 AM the following mornings, with the end goal to be reached by Friday morning, May 30. According to the announcement by DOTD, the roadway work is essential for maintaining infrastructure standards and safety. Commuters are advised to quickly find alternative paths to avoid delay in their daily commutes.
In line with standard procedure, DOTD has issued a safety reminder for those traveling through the affected areas. Motorists should remain vigilant, driving with caution through the construction site. The department has emphasized the importance of being on the lookout for work crews and their equipment in order to prevent any mishaps or accidents.
The disruption to traffic, while temporary, will likely have to impact local travel and commuters should take heed of these changes. "DOTD appreciates your patience," the DOTD conveyed, asking drivers to give the necessary respect and space to the construction teams working through the night.
