The well-traveled Lafayette path will be rerouted this week due to a bridge closure. Thankfully, it won't be prolonged, so traffic will only be hectic for a short time.

This weekend is one of the biggest for getting and eating crawfish, especially in Lafayette, so you better hop on it now!

According to the Lafayette Police Department, the victim has been identified as Daniel Ben, 39, of Lafayette.

The section of Verot School Road getting a new overlay will run between Highway 90 and Bolton Street (near Pinhook Road).

There are three heavily-traveled roadways that have lane closures happening this week - Interstate 10, US 90, and Verot School Road.

As many times as I've traveled Verot School Road, it's never dawned on me that it doesn't lead to an actual school. I mean, the road is named after a school, but where the heck is Verot School, or rather where was Verot School?

If for some reason the weather is bad, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development would cancel the project for those days.

You can use Gussie Drive and Fairview Parkway to detour around the closed intersections, and there will be signs in the area directing you to the detour routes.

If the closure of South Beadle at Verot puts a wrinkle in your travel plans, DOTD suggests that you use Kaliste Saloom and Pinhook Road.

As always, DOTD hopes that drivers will proceed with caution around work zones.
