DOTD announces project to repair sections of US 80 & LA 9 in Bienville Parish
ARCADIA – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces an $8.5 million project to repair portions of US 80 and LA 9 near the Town of Arcadia in Bienville Parish.
Preliminary work on the project has begun, with the contractor currently beginning the process of milling the roadway to remove the old asphalt in preparation of upcoming asphalt paving.
The project stretches on US 80 from LA 154 to LA 9 on the western side of Arcadia (nearly 7 miles of improvements), and on LA 9 near the I-20 interchange.
Work on the project includes full-depth base repairs, milling, new asphalt paving, fresh roadway striping, and related work.
Motorists should anticipate intermittent daytime lane closures on both routes to allow construction activities to progress safely and efficiently.
The entire project is anticipated to be complete in late 2026, with progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors that can impact construction timelines.
This project was made possible by funding allocated from the Louisiana Transportation Infrastructure Fund (LTIF 2.0) during the 2025 Regular Legislative Session.
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.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
