Off System Bridge Project

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), advises the public that on Wednesday, September 7th, 2016, construction will begin on Willet Loop and Rock Hill Road bridges in Grant Parish.

The intent of this project is to replace the existing Willet Loop Bridge with a box culvert, and replace the metal tank car pipes on Rock Hill Road with a concrete bridge. Associated work includes erosion control, laying hotmix on both roadways approaching the bridges, seeding and fertilizer, and clearing and grubbing.

The contractor will be closing the Willet Loop Bridge on Wednesday 9/7/16 and begin the bridge removal process. An additional Press Release will be announced when the Rock Hill Road site is closed. The public is advised to remain alert to construction signs and changing roadway conditions.

The project was awarded to the low bidder, W. E. McDonald & Sons, LLC., in the amount of $711,278.20. The work associated with this project should take approximately 110 working days to complete.

Permit/Detour section
Willet Loop is a non-state, off-system route and will be closed for the duration of the construction at this site.
