ST. MARTIN PARISH, La. - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that beginning Monday, February 17, 2025 construction will commence on a $4.73 million dollar project along La. 92-1 from U.S. 90 to La. 182.

SCOPE OF WORK
This project consist of milling, in-place base rehab, asphalt concrete overlay, drainage improvements and related work.

WORK SCHEDULE
Work is estimated to take place Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weather permitting.

TRAVEL IMPACTS
Intermittent lane closures will be required to perform the work, therefore, drivers should expect delays.

There will also be a planned ten-day full road closure event for La. 92-1 during the project, which is necessary to construct the area near U.S. 90. The Department will publish a press release for this planned road closure event.
