Thanksgiving is now behind us and everything is turning to Christmas as the holiday season continues. Christmas carols can be heard everywhere, especially in vehicles that are stuck in traffic as drivers are not only trying to get to their jobs or bring their kids to school but also have begun to buy gifts for Christmas.

Whether it's Louisiana DOTD or Lafayette city workers, there are daytime traffic closures planned for Johnston Street, US 90, and a couple of other spots in Lafayette Parish this week.

Johnston Street Daytime Traffic Closures

Johnston Street is a heavily-traveled roadway that runs through Lafayette. A particular stretch - Johnston Street between Ambassador Caffery Parkway and S. College Road - is an area I try to avoid because it is arguably the most busy stretch of Johnston.

Well, DOTD officials say they will perform slow moving operations in the outside lane on that section of Johnston Street Northbound and Southbound beginning Monday and lasting until Thursday (Nov. 28 - Dec. 1). These closures will happen each day from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as crews clean the bike lanes.
