Motorists in East Baton Rouge Parish should prepare to adjust their travel plans as LA 67 Southbound undergoes scheduled roadwork beginning next week. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), utility work will result in a partial closure of the right lane starting from September 29, 2025, at 6:00 AM until September 30, 2025, at 6:00 PM, weather permitting.
The area affected by the closure spans from 12511 Plank Rd. to 12401 Plank Rd. This necessary disruption aims to ensure the utilities along this stretch of LA 67 are properly maintained or upgraded. Officials have noted that there will not be a designated detour or alternate route.
The DOTD has not specified any additional restrictions, and it's clear that maintaining traffic flow while safeguarding those performing the work is a top priority. With no recurrence scheduled, the impact on commuters should be short-lived, provided the weather does not interrupt the timetable.
