Heads up, Jefferson Parish commuters: you'll be dealing with some roadwork if you're traveling on LA 18 SPUR (Louisiana St) today. Starting bright and early at 8:30 AM and expected to wrap up by 3:00 PM, assuming the weather gods play nice, you're looking at a partial closure of both the northbound and southbound lanes. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the construction will affect the stretch of road starting from US 90 BUS (Westbank Expressway) and up to LA 541 / LA 18 (River Rd).
Drivers in Jefferson Parish should expect slowdowns on LA 18 Spur today due to partial road closures for maintenance. While traffic will still move, commuters are advised to allow extra travel time or consider alternate routes.
It is not yet specified which projects the crews will be working on, but drivers should watch for traffic signage and flaggers directing vehicles. Motorists are advised to stay alert while traveling through the work zones
Anyone needing more details or looking for real-time traffic updates should definitely bookmark the DOTD's announcement page on their website. The page provides detailed information on this and other construction projects that may affect daily commutes.
