The Presque Isle Bridge on LA 24 crossing Bayou Petit Caillou in Houma, LA will be restricted to one (1) twelve (12’) foot lane of travel in the eastbound direction only, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the following dates:
Wednesday August 25, 2021
Thursday August 26, 2021
Wednesday September 1, 2021
Thursday September 2, 2021
This lane closure and maximum travel width restriction of twelve (12’) feet is required in order to allow the Department’s engineering consultant contractor to perform a comprehensive in-depth inspection of the bridge’s mechanical, structural and electrical elements. In addition to the one (1) lane restriction, periodic vehicular closures not to exceed fifteen (15) minutes at a time, will be necessary throughout the four days of inspection in order to test the electrical and mechanical components of the bridge.
All westbound traffic shall continue onto LA 659 north to the LA 3087, Prospect Street Bridge to LA 24 during the aforementioned lane restriction/closure times.
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.
