LA 3132 Shreveport: Intermittent Lane Closures Starting Wednesday
Shreveport/Bossier traffic of late has the makings of a Charles Dickens novel.
With deteriorating road conditions throughout the area, it's the best of times and the worst of times.
To combat the volume of crumbling roadways throughout the twin cities, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is hard at work with scores of projects, which, while designed to make things better in the long-haul, certainly make things rougher for motorists in the interim.
And the latest announcement from the DOTD is sure to slow things for about a month beginning this Wednesday, April 23.
DOTD is advising all drivers that beginning Wednesday, we should expect intermittent lane closures on LA 3132 eastbound and westbound in Shreveport as part of a $6.8 million project to replace the roadway signage.
These lane closures are necessary to allow for equipment mobilization at various locations between the I-20 and US 171 (Mansfield Rd) interchanges along LA 3132.
The intermittent lane closures will take place mostly during the day, with some restricted only to nighttime (near the Mansfield Road interchange), over the course of approximately the next month.
The good news about this particular project is that the majority of the work will actually be done off the shoulders of LA 3132 and is not expected to impact traffic.
As with all projects like this, all work will be done "weather permitting" so inclement weather could delay, extend or alter in other ways the scheduled work days/hours for this project.
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.
Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
