FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UPDATE Weekly Lookahead: 5/7 - 5/12/25

No Engineers Road Detour Today

BELLE CHASSE, LA. - The Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement Project has announced since inclement weather has impacted the work requiring a detour for Engineers Road this week, the detour will not be in effect today.


The detour (Harvey-Wall-LaPalco-LA23) will be back in effect when weather permits work to resume.


As always, anticipated impacts are weather permitting and subject to potential changes.


A special note: the entire project team is working diligently to reduce the impact to the public caused by lane closures, including an ongoing evaluation of what lane closures can be performed at night and on weekends. We are monitoring the traffic conditions and exploring alternatives to reducing impacts with USCG, PPG, PPSO and DOTD. We want to extend a thank you to all parties for their continued cooperation. The public’s patience is very much appreciated as we complete the construction of the new Belle Chasse Bridge.
