Jefferson Parish motorists, brace yourselves for some construction-related slowdowns. According to a recent announcement by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), LA 3154 (Hickory Ave) and LA 48 (Jefferson Hwy) will experience alternating lane closures due to roadwork. The construction project is scheduled to kick off on Monday, June 2, at 8:30 AM, and is expected to wrap up by Friday, June 6, at 6:00 PM, weather permitting, this timeline is contingent on the skies staying clear and cooperative.
The partial closure will impact both northbound and southbound traffic on LA 3154 with starting and ending cross streets at LA 48 (Jefferson Hwy) and 9th St respectively, so if you're planning to travel through these areas, expect some delays and consider alternative routes if you're in a hurry. Drivers should be prepared for recurring alternating single lane closure from Monday, June 2 through Friday, June 6, and these closures will occur daily from 8:30 AM to 6 PM; the DOTD has not specified the exact nature of the roadwork, but it's safe to assume that patience will be a valuable currency during these times.
For those curious about the specifics of the lane closures, the DOTD announcement mentions that this is an alternating lane closure which usually involves closing one lane while the other remains open to facilitate the flow of traffic and this system will be in place throughout the duration of the roadwork. Despite the inconvenience, such measures are essential to ensure the safety of both the workers on-site and the drivers passing through the construction zone.
