PROJECT COMPLETE: LA 1200 overlay project in Rapides Parish RAPIDES PARISH – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces the substantial completion of the $4.8 million project to repair a four mile section of LA 1200 in Rapides Parish.
The project stretched from LA 1 in the Town of Boyce to LA 121, and included full-depth patching to repair the roadway base, drainage structures, installation of fiberglass paving mat, milling to remove the old asphalt, new asphalt paving, fresh striping & signage, and related work.
This work significantly improves the travel experience and extends the service life of the roadway, which helps strengthen the state’s overall transportation network.
DOTD appreciates the understanding of the traveling public and community as construction activities were underway.
