Local drivers in St. Charles Parish should prepare for several road closures and detours. Vans Lane in New Sarpy will be closed for drainage work from the CN Railroad to 9th Street until approximately 3 p.m. today, with emergency vehicles still allowed access. Additionally, Ormond Center Court in Destrehan will experience disruptions from 150 Ormond Center Court to 3001 Ormond Boulevard due to road construction, with detour signs directing traffic around the closed area, according to an announcement from St. Charles Parish.
Adding to the series of street closures, Barriere Construction will begin summer road repairs involving patching, milling, and paving as part of the St. Charles Parish Road Maintenance Program. Work starts today on Schexnaydre Lane between LA 48 and the dead end, with milling operations underway and flaggers managing traffic.

The maintenance work is scheduled to proceed over the coming two weeks, with notable closures to include Vans Lane from LA 48 to the dead end in Destrehan, completely shuttered for milling from Wednesday through Friday. This closure is substantial as emergency vehicles will not be able to pass. Schexnaydre Lane and Fifth Street in Norco are also on the docket, with milling and paving operations slated for Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Residents and travelers in St. Charles Parish are advised to monitor schedules and plan routes accordingly to avoid delays. For updated information on road conditions and detours, please visit the St. Charles Parish website.
