Friday, August 16, 2019 at 1:53:42 PM
Construction is ongoing for State Project H.002370, LA 42 Widening. The project consists of grading, drainage structures, subgrade treatment, drilled shaft foundations, traffic signalization, landscaping, asphalt concrete pavement, portland cement concrete pavement, and related work in Ascension Parish.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that on Thursday, August 22, striping and traffic signal crews will mobilize on LA 42 to adjust the location of the traffic at the LA 44 Intersection. Motorist can expect traffic delays while this new traffic phase is developed.
• Beginning approximately 500' west of the LA 44 intersection, eastbound traffic will be shifted to the new lanes and will continue on the new roadway to approximately 800’ east of the intersection.
• Westbound traffic will be shifted to the lane farthest south on existing LA 42. The existing left lane will be closed, however, westbound traffic will be able to turn left or continue straight at the signal from the same lane.
• LA 44 traffic will not be affected by this phase.
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.
