The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Monday, Feb. 24, the northbound lanes of Brookshire Arena Drive in Bossier City will be closed.
Additionally, the right turn lane from LA 511 (Jimmie Davis Hwy) onto Brookshire Arena Drive will be closed.
These closures are anticipated to be in place for approximately three weeks and will allow the contractor for the ongoing Jimmie Davis Bridge replacement project to install drainage structures associated with the project.
Motorists wishing to travel northbound on Brookshire Arena Dr. will be detoured west on LA 511 to Arthur Ray Teague Pkwy northbound, to Kubota Way (formerly Reeves Marine Drive), and back to Brookshire Arena Dr.
Southbound traffic on Brookshire Arena Drive will not be impacted during this work.
DOTD would like to remind the traveling public to expect various road and lane closures over the course of this project, as LA 511 is being widened and realigned in order to connect with the new future 4-lane bridge. It is critical that drivers eliminate distractions in the work zone, and pay attention to detour signage and lowered speed limits.
