DOTD to improve a section of LA 175 in DeSoto Parish with $11.2M project
DESOTO PARISH – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is investing $11.2 million to improve a section of LA 175 in DeSoto Parish.
The project stretches on LA 175 from LA 509 just north of Mansfield to LA 5 at the Kingston community, which is about 10.5 miles of roadway improvements.
Work on the project is scheduled to begin in on Monday, May 5, 2025.
Motorists should plan for intermittent lane closures going into place to allow the contractor to safely and efficiently conduct construction activities.
The project includes full-depth repairs to address the roadway base at various locations, milling to remove the old asphalt, new asphalt paving on the entire project length, and permanent signage and roadway striping.
Please drive cautiously through the work zone, adhering to the post speed limit and never driving while distracted or impaired.
The entire project is estimated to be complete in Spring 2026, with progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors that can impact construction timelines.
Safety reminder:
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
