Attention Concordia Parish road warriors, take note of the ongoing work affecting your daily commute. Since February 25, US 84 has been a hub of construction activity, with crews diligently patching the pavement to provide a smoother journey for all. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), the alternating lane closures from Delaware Avenue to Nichols Drive will persist until approximately last Saturday – giving you just a few more days to plan your drives around them.

The closures, which take place exclusively during daylight hours, assure minimal disruption to nocturnal traffic flows. However, drivers should still be prepared for possible delays. No detour is necessary, for the work does not warrant a complete roadway shutdown. For those seeking additional information, reach out to Forby Contracting at (320) 384-6061 or DOTD Project Engineer Andy Moon, PE at (318) 757-3832 for the specifics on this project.

DOTD has made it clear that ensuring the safety of both the workers and drivers is paramount during this time. "DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment," stated a reminder on DOTD's official announcement. Such advisories are part and parcel of DOTD's commitment to public safety and infrastructure improvement.
