road construction

A bill that would direct $700 million in BP oil spill settlement money to road projects gains final passage.

Plans will be discussed at a meeting on June 6th.

DOTD officials will be closing the I-10 WESTBOUND Off Ramp at the Ambassador Caffery Parkway exit on Thursday night at 10 PM.

Alternating lane and shoulder closures will be happening on the I-10 Atchafalaya Basin Bridge over the next week as DOTD workers will be performing barrier rail and bridge joint repairs.

DOTD crews will be repairing concrete on Verot School Road from Camellia Boulevard to Polly Drive as part of the Verot School Widening Project.

There are several road projects happening this week as the I-10 Widening Project continues.

Because of necessary work on a couple of overpasses on I-10, DOTD workers will be implementing lane and road closures on the interstate this week.

Johnston Street could be facing the next big road construction project in Lafayette.

In addition to the lane closures happening as part of the I-10 Widening Project in Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes, there are also a couple of alternating lane closures happening on opposite sides of the interstate - Acadia and Iberville Parishes.

With DOTD crews needing to inspect the reflectivity of the new permanent pavement striping on the I-10 Atchafalaya Basin Bridge, part of the interstate will have alternating lane closures on Thursday night from 8 PM to 6 AM, weather permitting.
