Attention drivers in St. Bernard Parish: make sure to plan your routes accordingly on September 29, as LA 39, both northbound and southbound, will experience intermittent lane closures. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, motorists can expect these interruptions from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, weather permitting. The closures, due to surface abrasion testing, will stretch from Norton Ave. to LA 47/Paris Rd. Although the disruptions might inconvenience some, at least one lane in each direction will remain open to ensure the flow of traffic.
The scheduled roadwork is part of an ongoing effort to maintain and improve the quality of local infrastructure. Recognizing the importance of safety, the DOTD has ensured that emergency vehicles will have full access throughout the duration of the testing. However, drivers should be prepared for possible delays and are encouraged to use alternative routes during the lane closures.
For those who rely on this stretch of LA 39 for their daily commute, the brief pause in routine to accommodate these necessary checks is a testament to the care and investment in the longevity of our roadways.
