Heads up, New Orleans commuters: The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced there will be some disruptions over the weekend on US 90 (N. Claiborne Ave). According to the official notice, roadwork is scheduled to start on Sunday, July 27, at 6:00 AM and is expected to wrap up the same day by 12:00 PM, weather permitting.
For those planning their weekend errands or commutes, be aware that the partial closure will affect the left lane of Westbound US 90, stretching from Gravier Street to Poydras Street, if you're heading out it might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time or consider alternate routes to avoid potential slowdowns. The work being done, which is identified as traffic sign work under the project H.011220, is essential to maintaining road safety and infrastructure.
Local traffic authorities are asking drivers to be cautious when passing through the construction zone, to observe all signage, and to heed direction from flagging personnel for the safety of both the workers and the motorists. Delays are expected due to the lane closure, so planning ahead is recommended.
