Heads up, drivers in the Jefferson Parish area: prepare for some congestion on your commute next week. According to an announcement from the Jefferson Parish website, a portion of West Napoleon Avenue will see a lane closure that's going to shake up daily traffic. Specifically, "One eastbound lane of West Napoleon Avenue at North Starrett Road to the canal will be closed," starting from 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 10, and this situation will persist until 4 p.m. on Monday, June 16.
The closure, which is set to restrict traffic to the available lanes, is due to infrastructure development tied to a new subdivision road. Commuters should plan for additional travel time and consider alternative routes if possible. The parish has stated, "This closure is necessary for tie in of new subdivision road." Given that this roadwork is contingent on the elements, the completion date of Monday, June 16, could slide if the weather decides not to cooperate.
For residents and commuters looking for more details on the traffic situation or alternative routes, further information can be found directly on the Jefferson Parish website.
