The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), advises the public that construction work is ongoing on US 80 from 0.23 miles east of River Oaks Drive in Simsboro through Grambling to 0.92 miles east of LA 818 in Ruston. The project length is 6.915 miles.
US 80 will be intermittently reduced to one lane during the span of the project.

Lane closures will begin each morning around 7:00 a.m. and end around 5:00 p.m. each evening, weather permitting, with no work scheduled for weekends at this time. These lane closures will allow contractors to perform work to rehabilitate the existing base and install new asphalt surfacing on the roadway.
