This notice is an update regarding the La. 511 (east 70th Street) widening and resurfacing project in Caddo Parish. The scope of the improvement project is to widen the eastbound and westbound lanes of La. 511 between Fern Avenue and Creswell Road and construct a center turn lane. In addition, the project will resurface the existing roadway from Creswell Road to Line Avenue.

The widening portion of the project is essentially complete. The contractor has been working on constructing the tie-ins at the city streets, installing new traffic lights, sidewalks, and driveways.

This week the contractor will begin resurfacing operations from Fern Avenue to Line Avenue. This work is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.

Please keep in mind; work such as asphalt laying and roadway striping have weather restrictions. The project is scheduled to be complete in May.

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.
