Calcasieu Parish – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has announced work has begun on a $1.48 million project to replace Gully Bridge on LA 109 in Starks.

Crews with the project contractor, Siema Construction, have begun clearing and grubbing work to allow utilities to begin relocating. Once utilities are relocated, Siema will begin permanent work on the project. Utility relocation is expected to take up to two months.

DOTD will issue a separate notice for lane closures when they are expected.

Work is expected to be complete February 2027, weather permitting.
