Traffic incidents and road conditions on LA-353 in Louisiana

ST. MARTIN PARISH, La. - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces the start of a $11.2 million pavement preservation project to resurface a 6.56-mile section of La. 353 (Lake Martin Road) from La. 94 (Camel Drive) to its intersection with Cypress Island Highway. The project will include new drainage structures, milling asphaltic concrete, pavement widening, pavement patching, base course, asphalt overlay, striping, and related work. The work is estimated to take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. Intermittent lane closures will be required to perform the work. Therefore, drivers should expect delays. Emergency vehicles will have access to this area but may encounter delays. The road will be open to regular traffic with a 10-foot lane restriction on oversized loads passing through the work zone. The project will begin in February 6, 2023 and is estimated to be complete in September of 2023.
