road construction

The road construction on West Congress Street and Guilbeau Road in Lafayette will take longer than expected.

Most of the work is scheduled for the nighttime hours but there could be some lane and shoulder closures along I-10 for motorists who travel during that time.

There are two things you learn as a Louisianian about our roads: 1) They're generally awful. 2) When there is construction on them, it usually takes forever!

The 2.7-mile-long project cost taxpayers $54.7 million dollars and was finally completed in December of last year.

Between now and Christmas motorists who use the Breaux Bridge Exit off I-10 will need to be mindful of ongoing lane and ramp closures.

Some of the projects include improvements for I-10 and U.S. 90 in South Louisiana.

The church land and adjacent property will eventually be used as part of the I-49 Connector Project

Less traffic means now is the perfect time to work to improve Louisiana's roadways.

Monday's closures will affect Settler's Trace, West Farrel, Old Settlement Road, and one end of Cherokee Lane.

The alternating lane closures will affect both directions on I-10 beginning next week.
