DOTD says the closures began Wednesday, Sept. 23 and are needed for utility relocation on LA 694. The notice says no detour is necessary and that traffic will be maintained by flagging operations.
Emergency vehicles will be allowed access but may encounter delays, DOTD says. Motorists should expect work crews and equipment and check DOTD’s current notice before traveling, since the schedule is weather-dependent.
