BOSSIER PARISH – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces the start of a project to replace the LA 528 bridge over Clarke Bayou in eastern Bossier Parish.
The $2.6 million project is scheduled to begin on Monday, December 1, 2025 with the closure and removal of the existing structure, which was built in 1976.
Other work includes clearing & grubbing to remove vegetation in the work area, grading, drainage structures, milling asphalt concrete, pavement repairs, roadway base repairs, and related work.
This bridge is located approximately 2.2 miles east of LA 157.
This closure is anticipated to last approximately 10 months, with progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors that may impact construction timelines.
Restrictions/Permits: Total road closure at the specified location. All vehicles will be required to utilize an alternate route.
Alternate route: Detour signage will be posted.
