A recent video capturing the icy and snow-covered conditions on I-49 in North Louisiana serves as an important reminder of the importance of heeding state officials' advice to avoid traveling during icy or snowy conditions. Not only do we have less experience driving in these icy conditions we also do not drive vehicles with the proper snow tires making traveling during this time extremely dangerous.
Officials with the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office say that the roadway in the 1400 block of Grand Bois Road is closed to traffic until repairs can be made.
This is a big week for road construction that is scheduled to happen on the two interstates that run through Lafayette - Interstate 10 and Interstate 49.
Road construction continues in Lafayette and on Interstate 10 this summer as DOTD crews continue to address certain areas of the Hub City one by one and continue to work towards the completion of the I-10 Widening Project.
Construction on various roads in Lafayette continues this week as much needed repairs are being made in efforts to make our roads as safe as possible to drive.
