NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces an update on the project to clean and paint the Judge Seeber (Claiborne Avenue) Bridge, a $4.8 million preservation project.

The bridge was reopened to vehicular traffic on Friday, November15, at approximately 4 p.m. Work continues and single lane closures are currently in effect, in both directions.

DOTD continues to meet twice a week with the contractor, the design consultant, and the inspection consultants to assure project progress.

As a reminder, all planned construction activities are weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. DOTD appreciates the public’s continued patience and reminds motorists to please drive with caution through the construction zone and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.
