Local motorists should take note of several key road closures impacting travel throughout St. Charles Parish. According to the latest updates from the parish government, Hwy 628—often referred to as CC Road—between the KCS railroad and Hwy 61, will remain shut down until March 13, 2026. The closure, necessitated for the driving of sheet pile and batter piles along the road's edge, began on January 26.
As the construction on Hwy 628 persists, heavy vehicles, including haul trucks and local industry traffic, are advised to reroute using either Spillway Road or River Road. Emergency vehicles, however, are granted one-lane access at the PS #2 construction site, despite a section of the road being removed for the construction work. Authorities are keen to maintain emergency access during this period, ensuring critical services remain uninterrupted.
Another closure affecting the local traffic is Jonathan Street in Destrehan, which, per official reports, remains closed until further notice. For emergency traffic, an alternative route via Bunge’s heavy haul road enables access to Noel Street. In a similar vein, Ormond Center Court in Destrehan is blocked from 150 Ormond Center Court to 3001 Ormond Blvd as a result of ongoing road construction. A detour has been established to help vehicular traffic navigate the area with minimal disruption.
Motorists along LA 3127 will need to brace for intermittent and alternating lane closures, as construction crews work to install drainage structures and conduct asphalt milling and overlay work. Since November 3, 2025, the work is expected to often cause disruptions to disrupt normal traffic flow until October 30, 2026. During construction hours, oversized vehicles are limited to a width of 12 feet. To circumvent the affected areas, detour information has been made available for motorists traveling in both eastward and westward directions on LA 3127.
Updates from St. Charles Parish detail that LA 3160 will also experience lane closures due to permit and utility work. Beginning December 6, 2025, and projected to conclude by February 27, 2026, these closures will happen intermittently on weekdays and weekends, impacting single lanes and shoulder areas. More information on road statuses and closures can be obtained from the parish's website, helping residents and visitors to effectively plan their travels and minimize inconvenience.
