New Orleans—The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces an additional temporary lane closure on the US 90 Business Crescent City Connection Bridges (CCC) associated with the $21 million CCC Decorative Lighting Project.

Over the next three weeks, from July 23 to August 11, the HOV lane will be closed Tuesday through Sunday, 4 AM to 1 PM, to allow the contractor to work on the far side bridge piers outside of the protected barricaded area.

Important Details:
  • These additional closures do not affect west bank-bound HOV traffic. The HOV lane will be available to west bank-bound traffic daily from 1 PM – 4 AM, as usually scheduled.
  • Four full lanes will remain open to east bank-bound traffic, 24 hours daily.
  • DOTD anticipates that the 4 AM—1 PM closure schedule should minimize additional backup issues.
  • The HOV lane will be open to east bank-bound traffic on Mondays from 5 AM – 12 PM.

Additional Notes:
DOTD deeply appreciates your patience and understanding during this necessary closure. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we are working diligently to finish this project as quickly and safely as possible. We kindly remind motorists to drive cautiously through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment; ensuring everyone's safety is our top priority.
