Temporary closures to start on Monday
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development’s Paths to Progress Program announces the following temporary closures of South Jefferson Davis Parkway at the I-10 overpass, scheduled to start on Monday, May 5, and last five to six weeks:
• Temporary closure of South Jefferson Davis Parkway southbound lanes at the I-10 overpass from Tulane Avenue to Palmetto Street. Traffic will be detoured to South Broad Street at the I-10 overpass. Also, the left northbound lane of South Jefferson Davis Parkway at the I-10 overpass from Palmetto Street to Tulane Avenue will temporarily close to vehicular traffic and convert into a bike path for cyclists. The right northbound lane of South Jefferson Parkway will remain open to traffic throughout construction.
The temporary closures will facilitate the removal and replacement of the concrete approach slabs of the southbound lanes of South Jefferson Davis Parkway at the I-10 overpass. The improvements are a continuation of the South Jefferson Davis Parkway project that began in November 2013.
