UPDATE: This work is complete and the ramp and all lanes have been REOPENED.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Friday, March 27, 2020 at 6:00p.m., the on-ramp to LA 3132 eastbound from US 171 (Mansfield Road) in Shreveport, Caddo Parish will be CLOSED.

The ramp closure is anticipated to last approximately 30 days, weather permitting.

This closure is related to the project to extend the length of the acceleration lane in order to reduce congestion and improve safety as motorists merge onto the busy highway.

Motorists will be able to access LA 3132 eastbound from Jewella Avenue.

The entire project is anticipated to be complete in Spring 2020, weather permitting.
