The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development will conduct an open house public meeting for the Kansas Lane – Garrett Road Connector (State Project No. H.007300) in the vicinity of their intersections with Millhaven Road (LA 594) in Monroe, Ouachita Parish.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide information about the project improvements and to obtain input from interested parties. Representatives from DOTD will be available at the open house to answer questions and discuss issues related to the project.
