La. 1 in Leeville, La. will be closed to one lane from Monday, April 9 at 7 am through Friday, April 27 at 6:00 p.m. The purpose of this closure will be for DOTD crews to make modifications to the existing toll gantry.

Southbound permitted loads more than 10 feet wide will require a Louisiana State Police escort to stop northbound traffic to enable them to travel southbound on the northbound side at the gantry location.
