Heads up, commuters and locals in Jefferson Parish: prepare for some traffic shifts on LA 3154 this coming week. Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced alternating lane closures heading both north and southbound along LA 3154, between LA 48 (Jefferson Hwy) and 9th St. These disruptions, which commence on Monday, June 23rd, are slated for drainaige work essential to infrastructure maintenance.
According to the DOTD, roadwork on this arterial route is set to start at 8:30 AM tomorrow and will continue until Friday, at 6:00 PM, provided the weather stays cooperative. Motorists should expect recurring single-lane closures throughout the day, from 8:30 AM and wrapping up at 6 PM daily. It's a routine play of patience and pragmatism; short-term inconvenience for long-term gain.
The lane restrictions will partially close off traffic, and since these lanes shuttle a significant amount of local and through traffic, delays are inevitable. Drivers are advised to allow extra time for travel or seek alternative routes where possible. DOTD has committed to ensuring proper signage is in place to assist with traffic flow and safety for both the work crews and passing vehicles.
If you've any errands or commutes that take you through the stretch of LA 3154, consider this a heads-up to plan ahead. Adjust your schedules, check traffic reports, and navigate the week ahead with that little extra bit of caution and foresight.
