Road Construction Active
All lanes closed
Road Construction on LA-509 Both Directions from Abbington Loop to LA-1. All
lanes closed. Starting 3/4/2024 12:00 AM
UPDATE: DOTD advises motorists that this road closure for a pipe replacement
will remain in place until Wednesday, May 1, 2024. UPDATE: DOTD advises
motorists that the start date for this project has been moved to Monday, March
4, 2024. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces a
project to repair and improve a two mile section of LA 509 in Red River Parish.
The project stretches from the DeSoto Parish line to LA 1, just north of the
Village of Grand Bayou, and includes asphalt patching repairs and a mill and
overlay to provide a new driving surface. As part of this project, LA 509 at
this location will need to be closed to through traffic beginning on Friday,
March 1, 2024 to allow for the replacement of a cross drain pipe that runs under
the roadway. Detour signage will be in place. This road closure is anticipated
to last approximately 30 days, weather permitting. Once that pipe replacement is
complete, the contractor will begin working on the mill and overlay portion of
the project. The entire project is expected to wrap up in early Fall 2024, with
progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors that can impact
construction timelines. Safety reminder: DOTD appreciates your patience and
reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on
the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Area residents should exercise
caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
