Original project notification - 8/1/2025:
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Monday, August 4, 2025, work will kick off to replace large box culverts located under the roadway on LA 764 north of Logansport in DeSoto Parish.
This roadway was previously closed due to the failure of the old cross drain pipe, and a contract had to be developed and executed with a contractor due to the scope of work required.
The removal and replacement of the new culverts and laying new asphalt paving is expected to be complete in mid to late September 2025. Once that work is done, the roadway will be reopened to traffic.
The project site is located approximately 0.2 miles south of the intersection with LA 765. (see attached map)
DOTD appreciates the patience of the community while this work is underway.
Restrictions/Permits: LA 764 was previously closed to all traffic at the specified location. The existing detour will remain in place until the project is complete.
Alternate Route: Detour signage is in place.
This work will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING.
Safety reminder:
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. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
