The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that on Thursday, August 7, 2025, the right (outside) lane of I-49 northbound at the Hollywood/Pierremont Rd interchange (Exit 203) will be closed.
Additionally, the I-49 northbound on-ramp from Pierremont Rd. will be closed.
This lane/ramp closure is scheduled to take place from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and is necessary to allow DOTD crews to perform emergency roadway repairs at this location.
