PROJECT UPDATE: LA 525 (Colquitt Road) asphalt overlay in Caddo Parish
CADDO PARISH, La. - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces a milestone for the ongoing $9.2 million project to improve a section of LA 525 (Colquitt Road) in south Caddo Parish.
The contractor, Earnest Contracting, LLC., has completed laying the first layer of asphalt paving on the entire project, which is nearly 10 miles of repairs.
Other construction activities include moving forward with the top layer of asphalt paving, and concrete pavement repairs on the north end of the project near the Mansfield Road intersection.
Future improvements include the installation of new guardrail, fresh roadway striping & signage, and related items.
Motorists are urged to plan for possible delays, particularly during peak travel times in the mornings and evenings, while DOTD continues to monitor the traffic flow during intermittent lane closures and make necessary adjustments. Please drive with extreme caution through the construction zone.
The entire project is anticipated to wrap up in late Spring 2027, weather and other factors permitting.
This investment in Louisiana’s transportation system will provide a much-improved, safer route for drivers in south Caddo Parish and beyond.
This project was made possible via funding allocated from the Louisiana Transportation Infrastructure Fund (LTIF 2.0) during the 2025 Regular Legislative Session.
