Destrehan residents and surrounding community members need to be aware of several key road closures affecting the area. On Jonathan Street, a continued closure persists with no clear date for reopening. Emergency vehicles are being routed via Bunge's heavy haul road, according to the St. Charles Parish government's announcement.
Construction has also shut down part of Ormond Center Court, spanning from Reginelli's to Buddy's Frostop. A detour is in place, allowing vehicle traffic to navigate around the obstruction. Commuters should plan for potential delays when traveling through these areas, and are encouraged to seek alternative routes when possible.
In addition to local street closures, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has advised of lane closures on LA 3127. This will affect the stretch from St. James Parish Line to St. Charles Parish Line until October 30, 2026. As per the St. Charles Parish official statement, the work involves installation of drainage structures and an asphalt mill and overlay operation, with oversized loads limited to 12 feet in width.
Drivers looking to bypass LA 3127 construction can take LA 3213 north to LA 641, then towards I-10, and eventually connect to I-310. This detour should help minimize the disruptions caused by the roadwork. Another set of closures to be aware of are on LA 3160 due to utility work, with single lane and shoulder intermittent closures continuing through to February 27, as per the St. Charles Parish.
Finally, US 61 (Airline Dr) between LA 50 (Almedia Rd) and Ormond Blvd is undergoing recurring single lane closures for asphalt patching until the morning of January 16. Simultaneously, LA 3127 faces lane closures for roadway patching from the 12th to the 16 of January. Motorists are urged to stay informed and to plan their commutes accordingly to avoid delays and ensure safety.
