Heads up, drivers—starting this weekend, you're going to want to budget extra time for your trips down LA-3160. According to St. Charles Parish Government, there'll be single-lane and shoulder closures on the stretch of road from LA-3127 to the Railroad Crossing, and it's not just a one-off situation.
The work, which is expected to last until the tail-end of February, is set to accommodate some undeniable necessities—permitted utility work that needs doing, and from the sound of things, drivers should brace themselves for a roadwork routine. Expect the cones and signs to be out in full force Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and on the weekends too, from 9:00 a.m. all the way to 4:30 p.m., just so long as the weather plays nice.
Although the extended commute may be inconvenient for motorists, officials emphasize that the ongoing work is critical to maintaining safety on the roadways traveled each day. The delays may seem long to drivers, but the infrastructure repairs are necessary to ensure the stability and reliability of the system moving forward, as per St. Charles Parish.
While the added travel time may be frustrating for commuters, officials note that the work is essential to ensure safety beneath the roads that residents use every day. Though the delays may feel lengthy for drivers, the infrastructure maintenance is necessary despite the temporary inconvenience.
