The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) would like to remind motorists that the Judge Seeber (Claiborne) Bridge will be closed this weekend, Jan. 21-23, to finish readjusting the main tension cables used to lift the bridge. This is the last scheduled closure for this month.

            The closure will last from Friday, after rush hour, until Monday and will be a total closure to both vehicular and marine traffic, in both directions. The Florida Avenue and St. Claude Bridges will continue to serve as alternate routes.
