The well-traveled Lafayette path will be rerouted this week due to a bridge closure. Thankfully, it won't be prolonged, so traffic will only be hectic for a short time.
A couple of road improvements announced today involving Kaliste Saloom, E. Broussard, and Robley Roads will look to make lives much easier for residents and people who drive through those areas often and on a daily basis.
As road construction across Lafayette Parish continues to hopefully improve our roads and the traffic flowing on them, you can add an often-used intersection to the list - Kaliste Saloom Road and E. Broussard Road.
Originally recorded back in the early '90s when Kaliste Saloom Road was being improved, it still rings true today when you change the name of the street to Verot School Rd.!
YouTuber Chris Blanchard has been cranking out some amazing drone video of the Louisiana flood all across Lafayette and Acadiana. He just uploaded this drone footage of flooding at the Highlands Apartments on Kaliste Saloom in Lafayette, and footage of a submerged van on Kaliste Saloom.
