St. Mary Parish, LA – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that the Centerville Bridge over Bayou Teche in St. Mary Parish will be closed to all vehicular traffic beginning Monday, March 2 through Monday, April 27.

The work is part of an ongoing $1,559,383.00 off-system bridge preservation project aimed at extending the service life of the Centerville Bridge over Bayou Teche.
Emergency vehicles will not have access to the bridge during the closure period.
