The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that the right lane on US 90 eastbound west of LA 318, in St. Mary Parish, will be closed on Saturday, October 28, to allow construction crews to stripe the exit and entrance ramps. The exit and entrance ramps will also be closed during this time frame.

This work is estimated to take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting.

During this lane closure, the road will be open to regular traffic with a 12 foot lane restriction on oversized loads passing through the work zone.

Following this lane closure and striping, the new US 90 eastbound overpass will be opened to traffic.

As part of the Geaux South program, current work underway is related to the $56 million design-build project that involves upgrading the existing US 90 and LA 318 signalized intersection to a full control of access, grade-separated interchange including the reconstruction of the US 90 frontage roads to provide local access to LA 318. Construction began in March 2016, and is estimated for completion in fall 2017.
