The ongoing work requires a detour for Engineers Road (Harvey-Wall-LaPalco-LA23). Emergency vehicles and local traffic, including school buses, will be allowed to pass.

As always, anticipated impacts are weather permitting and subject to potential changes.

A special note: the entire project team is working diligently to reduce the impact to the public caused by lane closures, including an ongoing evaluation of what lane closures can be performed at night and on weekends. We are monitoring the traffic conditions and exploring alternatives to reducing impacts with USCG, PPG, PPSO and DOTD. We want to extend a thank you to all parties for their continued cooperation. The public’s patience is very much appreciated as we complete the construction of the new Belle Chasse Bridge.
