Commuters in Lafourche Parish can expect some slowdowns as roadwork begins on LA 3235. Starting September 2 at 6:00 AM, both northbound and southbound lanes will see partial closures due to construction activities, according to the Department of Transportation and Development. The effort is part of Project H.008145, aimed at improving the thoroughfare in this area.
The specified roadwork will affect a northbound right lane starting at the intersection of LA 3235 and West 220th Street and extend to approximately 1,900 feet before Texas Road Street. Affected southbound traffic will see the left lane closed off from the intersection with St. Louis Street to LA 1. The scheduled lane closures will reduce traffic to a 12-foot travel lane in both directions with varying medians and shoulders, as reported by the Department of Transportation and Development.
For those seeking alternatives to the LA 3235 route, Department of Transportation and Development suggests using Hwy 1. Although the construction will condense travel to a single lane in each direction, the Department of Transportation and Development has ensured that travel lanes will be maintained at a width of 12 feet.
Department of Transportation and Development emphasizes the importance of safety during these changes. Commuters driving through the work zone are reminded "to please drive with caution through the work zone and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment," as stated in their announcement.
