Drivers in Jefferson Parish, take note: starting Monday, November 24, there will be some alternating lane closures to be aware of if you're traveling on LA 49 (Williams Blvd). According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the closures are scheduled to begin next Monday at 9:00 AM and are expected to wrap up on Wednesday, November 26, at 3:00 PM. You can find the full details on the DOTD's website.
Northbound and southbound lanes of LA 49 will be seeing some action between W Metairie Ave and I-10. The closures will hit during what might be off-peak hours, from 9 AM to 3 PM, which doesn't mean that they won't impact your daily commute or errand run. Official sources point out this is all in service of landscaping, traffic signals, and "related work," a sweep of improvements aimed at bettering the thoroughfare.
For those who frequent this stretch, patience will be your co-pilot. Take a deep breath, leave a little earlier than usual, or consider an alternative route. The DOTD has announced that these are recurring alternating single lane closures, which means on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, expect to weave through construction signs and crews diligently upgrading your travel experience. Authorities are urging drivers to follow speed limits and traffic signs to ensure the safety of all road users.
