BRIDGES REOPENED: LA 160 over Cypress Bayou, Bossier Parish
BOSSIER PARISH – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that the $4 million project to replace two bridges on LA 160 over Cypress Bayou/Relief in north Bossier Parish is substantially complete and the roadway has been REOPENED.
The project, which officially began in January 2025, included the removal and replacement of the two structures that are located in close proximity to each other on LA 160 just east of LA 3 near the Rocky Mount community.
Other work in the project included rip rap for erosion control, new roadway base and asphalt paving on the approaches to the bridges, guardrail installation, and fresh roadway striping & signage.
This type of investment in the state’s transportation system ensures continued connectivity for the communities that depend on these bridges.
As always, DOTD appreciates the patience and understanding of the traveling public while construction was underway, and encourages motorists to drive safely and responsibly.
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.
