Residents and commuters, take notice: multiple road closures and detours are imminent, affecting daily travel and potentially congesting alternate routes. Starting tomorrow at 7 a.m., BNSF Railroad will begin repair work on the crossing at Barton Avenue and U.S. Highway 90, with expected completion by 5 p.m. the same day. During this time, you'll need to circumvent this area via River Road to reach affected neighborhoods, according to the St. Charles Parish website.
Additionally, Jonathan Street remains a no-go zone until further notice, but Bunge’s heavy haul road can save the day for emergency vehicles needing to get to Noel Street, skipping Lorraine Street, while Ormond Center Court in Destrehan is partially blocked between Reginelli’s and Buddy's Frostop due to ongoing construction, causing drivers to seek alternative paths along well-marked detours.
Long-term closures also loom on the horizon, with LA 628 (CC Road) undergoing construction until November 21, creating a continuous full closure for the Montz Pump Station Permit Project, and LA 628 Roadway Construction with detour options including US 61, LA 3217, and LA 628 (River Rd). Moreover, LA 18 (River Rd) witnesses recurring full road closures for the overhead pipe bridge project, with traffic rerouted from last Monday, November 10, through the 21 between 8 AM and 4:30 PM each day, as per the St. Charles Parish website.
And for those who regularly traverse LA 3127, be prepared for alternating lane closures lasting a full year, where construction crews will work steadily installing drainage structures and an asphalt mill and overlay, restricting oversize loads to a 12-foot width, which may reshape traffic patterns as motorists seek various detour routes including LA 3213, LA 641, and I-10 to bypass the bustling work zones.
