Lafayette traffic

Emergency repairs will be conducted on the Basin Bridge for most of the workday on Friday.

Try to avoid I-10 eastbound, if possible. Congestion has traffic at a near-standstill Sunday.

According to reports, one lane of Ambassador Caffery Parkway in Lafayette will be shutdown for approximately five months as repairs to the sound-wall lining the road are underway. Those daily closures of the outside, northbound lane on Ambassador will happen between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. per the report.

The construction at the intersection of Guilbeau Road and West Congress Street in Lafayette has been going on for what seems like an eternity. However, it looks like the project will be done in less than two weeks.

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

Growing pains are never easy, but the benefits to be reaped after the inconvenience are well worth the wait. Right? (Kaliste Saloom Rd, I'm referring to you!)
