Attention commuters and local residents: if you're planning to travel through Causeway Boulevard this Friday, you might need to factor in some additional time for your journey. According to a news release from Jefferson Parish's official website, a portion of this key thoroughfare will be subject to lane closures. One lane heading northbound and one lane heading southbound between West Napoleon Avenue and Cypress Street will be shut down from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday. The changes are to accommodate soil boring and roadway coring operations essential for infrastructure maintenance.
The expected duration of the closure indicates that traffic should resume as normal by the end of the same day, assuming the weather permits. Motorists are advised to use the remaining available lanes during these hours. Given the timing of the closure, those amid the daily hustle could face delays and are encouraged to plan accordingly. Despite the inconvenience, such measures are vital for the upkeep and safety of the roadways we often take for granted.
This roadway work is a single-day event and should not affect commutes beyond Friday. The Jefferson Parish's announcement, published last Friday, reassures residents that crews will work diligently to complete the necessary operations within the allotted time frame.
