BREAUX BRIDGE, LA - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that beginning Monday, July 17 until Monday, July 24, LA 328 (Rees Street) at I-10, in Breaux Bridge, will be closed due to construction work.

The closure is estimated to take place nightly from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.

There are no restrictions for permit loads.

The detour route for south bound traffic will be I-10 west to Louisiana Avenue then back to I-10 east to LA 328 to continue south.
