ST. MARTIN PARISH, La. - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces the start of a $11.2 million pavement preservation project to resurface a 6.56-mile section of La. 353 (Lake Martin Road) from La. 94 (Camel Drive) to its intersection with Cypress Island Highway.
The project will include new drainage structures, milling asphaltic concrete, pavement widening, pavement patching, base course, asphalt overlay, striping, and related work.
The work is estimated to take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting.
