Monday, September 09, 2019 at 2:28:31 PM
Construction has begun 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 will be shifted to the newly constructed outside eastbound and westbound lanes from North Lake Dr. to Franklin Road. The transition will take place September 16, 2019. This will allow the contractor to begin removing the existing roadway in the center of LA 42. No permit or oversize loads greater than 12’ feet wide will be able to pass.
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.
