Control Section 008-30**
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), advises the public that beginning Monday April 18, 2016 at 7:00 AM, weather permitting, the service road connections at US 71 (MacArthur Drive) & Monroe St. and the Eastern service road connection at US 71 (MacArthur Drive) & Elliott St. will be closed due to construction work. Also, periodic temporary lane closures at the intersections will be needed for the construction work. These service road connection closures will last several weeks until the completion of the construction work. These closures are necessary to allow for the widening of the existing service road connections at these locations.
NOTE: Future press releases will be issued for additional service road connection closures.
