As we ramp up the Mardi Gras celebrations around Acadiana, Lafayette needs to make preparations for one of the biggest carnival season traditions: Barricades.
Mardi Gras is pretty much in full swing, and that means it's time for the barricades. The City of Lafayette has just released the barricade schedule for Mardi Gras 2018.
The Lafayette Consolidated Government has released its barricade placement schedule so businesses, residents and travelers in the City of Lafayette can be best informed and plan accordingly.
There may be a few traffic delays going on in the Lafayette area today, but it's for a good reason. Mardi Gras barricades will be going up throughout the day. Please be patient with the workers setting up the barricades because parades begin this weekend.
