Improvement project on US 171 complete in Deridder - Beauregard Parish
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces the improvement project on US 171 from US 190 to West Drive in DeRidder is complete.
The project installed new drainage structures and ADA ramps, repaired curbs, and milled and asphalt overlaid US 171. As part of the project, crews restriped US 171 from W. Port Street to West Drive to add a continuous center left turn lane. These improvements provide a safer and more efficient roadway for travelers. Drivers may experience short-term delays as crews conduct final inspections.
The project, which costs approximately $560,000, began in November 2020, and the contractor was R. E. Heidt Construction.
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.
