Residents and commuters along Harrison Avenue in St. Tammany Parish can expect to navigate construction as roadway enhancements are kicking off. A recent social media announcement from the parish has detailed the onset of a $1.3 million repaving project that aims to upgrade a stretch of Harrison Avenue from LA 59 to I Street. As reported in the St. Tammany Parish Facebook post, "Harrison Avenue from LA 59 to I Street is being repaved."
This investment is part of an initiative by President Cooper and the Parish Council to improve infrastructure safety and efficiency. Construction is expected to be completed later this spring, and drivers should anticipate temporary disruptions. The project will ultimately provide a more reliable road for the community.
According to the St. Tammany Parish Facebook post, this project is only an initial phase of a grander scheme: "A future phase of the project will widen Harrison Avenue from U.S. 190 to I Street, expecting to begin in early 2027."
