St. Mary Parish - La. 318 - road closure
Wednesday, May 31, 2017 at 10:27:20 AM
THE FOLLOWING WORK HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE 2, 2017.
JEANERETTE, La. -- The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced today that on Thursday, June 1, traffic on La. 318 will be stopped for 15 minute intervals near the intersection ramps for U.S. 90.
This work is neccesary to allow crews to install girders.
This closure is estimated to take place from noon until 4 p.m. Flaggers will be present to guide traffic. Motorists are encouraged to use an alternate route during this time, as traffic delays are anticipated.
All construction activities are weather dependent, and may be re-scheduled in the event of inclement weather.
DOTD apologizes for any inconvenience to the traveling public and encourages motorists to lookout for crews and their equipment.
As part of the Geaux South program, current work underway is related to the $56 million design-build project that involves upgrading the existing U.S. 90 and La. 318 signalized intersection to a full control of access, grade-separated interchange including the reconstruction of the U.S. 90 frontage roads to provide local access to La. 318. Construction began in March 2016, and is estimated for completion in fall 2017.
