The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Monday, April 27, 2026, the LA 169 bridge over Twelve Mile Bayou east of the Town of Mooringsport in north Caddo Parish will be closed daily.

This closure is scheduled to take place from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day for two (2) weeks, and is necessary to allow for bridge girder and piling repair.
