The Louisiana Department Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., weather permitting, the LA 3144 (Edgewood Drive) exit and entrance ramps on US 167 northbound in Rapides Parish will be opened to traffic.
Additionally, the northbound outside lane of US 167 will be opened.
The northbound inside lane of US 167 will then be closed from the Donahue Ferry Road overpass to US 165 following the opening of the northbound outside lane and ramps.

There will be a 12’ lane restriction on US 167 associated with these lane closures.
