West Larose Vertical Lift Bridge on LA 1 – State Project No. H.009479
The West Larose Vertical Lift Bridge on LA 1 crossing the Intracoastal Canal Waterway in Larose, LA will be closed continuously to vehicular traffic from 7:00 a.m. Monday February 25, 2019 until 7:00 a.m. Monday April 15, 2019. This closure is necessary so crews can remove and replace rear tower bearings, trunnion bearings and wire ropes. The $25 million project is designed to extend the life of the existing structure and is estimated for completion in summer 2019. The contractor is C.E.C., Inc.
Alternate route(s) around the work zone, during closure times are as follows:
Northbound: LA 1 across the New Larose Vertical Lift Bridge to LA 308 north
Southbound: LA 1 across the Belle Vue Swing Bridge (LA 3220) south of Lockport or the T-Bois Vertical Lift Bridge just north of Larose to LA 308 south.
All planned construction activities may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather or special events. DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.
