The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has issued a notice regarding a lane closure on LA 3 (Benton Road) southbound, affecting motorists in Bossier Parish.

Starting from Wednesday, March 6, 2024, at 7:00 a.m., the southbound outside (right) lane of LA 3 will be closed, stretching from Melrose Avenue to Citizens Bank Drive in Bossier City. This closure, expected to last for approximately four weeks, is essential for the progress of the Walter O. Bigby Carriageway project. The project aims to construct a new roadway connecting to Benton Road and is under the management of the City of Bossier City.

During this period, no specific restrictions or permits are mentioned, and alternate routes are not provided. However, it’s crucial to note that this work is subject to weather conditions.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution and patience while navigating through the construction area. Please remain vigilant for work crews and equipment. Additionally, residents in the vicinity should take extra care when driving, walking, or cycling near the active construction zone.

Stay updated for any further developments and drive safely!
