The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that, weather permitting, work will begin on the LA 174 Asphaltic Concrete Overlay Project on Friday, August 26, 2016 and will continue for approximately (3) three months. The contractor intends to begin replacing existing cross drain pipes within the existing roadway with other items of work to follow. This asphaltic concrete overlay and base stabilization project is located on LA 174 and begins at its intersection with LA 175 and ends at the DeSoto Parish Line. This 4.28 mile long project will receive drainage structures, cold planing asphaltic concrete, lime treatment, in-place cement stabilized base course, asphaltic surface treatment, superpave asphaltic concrete overlay and related work.
The project was awarded to the low bidder, W.E. McDonald & Son, LLC, in the amount of $2,379,527.35.

There will be no restrictions for passenger vehicles and a 12’ wide lane width restriction for all oversize vehicles. The roadway will be reduced to one lane during construction operations.
