PROJECT COMPLETE: LA 3227 at LA 157 realignment Phase 1, Bossier Parish


SHREVEPORT - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that the LA 3227 at LA 157 realignment project Phase 1 in Haughton, Bossier Parish is now complete.

Phase 1, which was a $4.2 million project, included the reconstruction of the LA 3227 approach to LA 157 in preparation for a new traffic configuration that will be implemented as part of Phase 2. This phase also included the widening of LA 157 from two to five lanes near the Pilot Truck Stop on the east side of the roadway to accommodate growing traffic volumes. (see included photos).

Phase 2 will provide the actual realignment portion of the work, which will move LA 3227 just south to connect with LA 157 at a newly built intersection. The existing traffic signal will also be relocated to this new intersection.

Also as part of future Phase 2, LA 3227 at its current intersection with LA 157 will be come a right-in, right-out only, and no cross traffic will be able to access LA 3227 from the north Pilot driveway. Motorists wishing to access LA 3227 will simply drive 400 feet south to the new traffic signal, and turn at that location. (see included map with information).

Phase 2 is scheduled to go to bid in March 2025, and will provide the culmination of the improvements to this busy intersection in order to help facilitate traffic flow and economic development for the growing Haughton community.
