Louisiana lawmakers have agreed to a $600 borrowing plan to fund three interstate projects aimed at alleviating traffic and boosting economic development.
Work has officially begun on a major road and bridge renovation for the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge. The project will run on Interstate 10 from LA 347 (Henderson/Cecilia exit) to LA 77 in Grosse Tete.
On Sunday, from 7 AM until 10 PM, the westbound outside lane of Johnston Street will be closed at the intersection of Cajundome Boulevard, weather permitting.
In addition to the bridge closures that have already begun today, there will be alternating lane closures happening in both directions from LA 91 in Estherwood to LA 35 in Rayne for various bridge repairs, weather permitting.
According to Carencro Mayor Glenn Brasseaux, two of the bigger projects lined up for the spring include work to Hector Connoly Road and West Butcher Switch Road.
If you must get out before this all melts, please slow down, give yourself extra time, leave plenty of space between your car and other vehicles, and pay very close attention.
