The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Wednesday, June 14, 2023, work will begin to construct new roadway lighting on US 165 from Richwood Rd No 1 / Martin Luther King Dr to LA 15 (Winnsboro Rd), through the Town of Richwood in Ouachita Parish.

The required work will necessitate intermittent left lane closures on US 165, although through traffic and local traffic will be maintained at all times.
