US 425 in Morehouse Parish, Lane Closure
Tuesday, November 05, 2019 at 9:39:42 AM
UPDATE (11/5/19): The asphalt patching work on US 425 in Morehouse Parish is now complete. Due to the recent drop in ambient temperatures, the asphaltic surface treatment work cannot commence at this time. Accordingly, all travel lanes are open to traffic. Lane closures will not be needed again until the ambient temperature is conducive to asphaltic surface treatment application. LA DOTD will update this media notification to provide information regarding the timing of future lane closures once the ambient temperature allows for the asphalt surface treatment work to begin. LA DOTD appreciates the travelling public's patience and cooperation during the duration of this project.

US 425 in Morehouse Parish starting from the LA 134 intersection near Oak Ridge to the intersection with LA 2 near Mer Rouge will experience various lane closures beginning Monday, October 14, 2019. Traffic will be maintained through the use of flaggers and pilot vehicles to assist with travel through this area during daylight working hours. All lanes will be open during non-working hours and overnight. The work is anticipated to be complete by November 22, 2019, weather permitting. The lane closures are required in order to perform asphalt patching and install an asphaltic surface treatment.
