Date Posted: 12/6/2021 9:53:49 AM DOTD to expedite replacement project, reduce
costs through closure of LA 1 Caddo Lake Bridge in Caddo Parish SHREVEPORT, La.
– The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that the
project to replace the Caddo Lake Bridge on LA 1 in north Caddo Parish will be
expedited by approximately one year and include a significant cost savings
through the closure of the existing structure. The $18.2 million replacement
project is currently in the utility relocation phase, which began on October 1,
2021, and includes 300 days for AEP SWEPCO to move their utilities that are
located in the project limits. The existing bridge, built in 1940, has recently
had the load posting lowered to 5 tons after inspection and structural review.
Due to the condition of the structure, the closure is not only a cost and time
savings to the project, the decision to close the bridge encompasses safety
concerns for the traveling public. The closure is scheduled to take place on
Wednesday, December 22, 2021. Advanced warning signage will be in place to alert
motorists ahead of the scheduled closure date. This will allow the timeline for
the replacement project to be reduced by about one year through the elimination
of several traffic phasing sequences and required mobilization. Additionally,
the closure of the bridge will result in a substantial savings in the overall
cost of the project. The new timeline will move up the anticipated completion of
the bridge replacement to Summer 2023, depending on weather conditions. The
primary detour routes will be LA 538 and LA 169 through the Town of
Mooringsport.Start Date: Dec 22, 7:00AM
