Travelers who frequent the Crescent City Connection Bridge and the surrounding routes in New Orleans will need to prepare to adjust their journeys as upcoming roadwork is set to impact the flow of traffic. According to an announcement by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), both westbound and eastbound lanes of US 90 BUS will experience partial closures due to utility work scheduled to begin early February.
The westbound US 90 BUS is slated for a partial closure starting Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at 9:15 PM, with an expected end time of 4:00 AM the following morning, weather permitting. Motorists should anticipate that two right lanes will be inaccessible, beginning at the Crescent City Connection Bridge. Additionally, the Tchoupitoulas on-ramp will be subject to closure due to the roadwork, as mentioned in the DOTD announcement. Drivers need to be aware of these disruptions and plan to possibly seek alternative routes when traveling westbound.
Eastbound traffic on US 90 BUS will experience a partial right-lane closure on Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 4:00 AM on Friday, February 6, 2026, due to utility work. The work is scheduled to begin at the Crescent City Connection Bridge and is dependent on weather conditions.
Commuters and residents are advised that scheduled road closures will take place to allow for utility work on city infrastructure. For the latest information and updates on the roadwork schedule, individuals can check the Louisiana DOTD website or subscribe to notifications.
