Weekly Lookahead: 10/9-10/19/25

BELLE CHASSE, LA. - The Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement Project announces the following scheduled construction activities and anticipated traffic impacts.

These closures include LA23 (current northbound and southbound lanes), Engineers Road, Barriere Road and their respective left turning lanes at the intersections, and the bulb out at Burmaster. Additionally, the Engineers Road detour and/or potential flagging throughout the nights of 10/9, 10/13 amd 10/14 directly on the right turn .anes from LA23 to Engineers Road and from Engineers Road to LA23. As always, these 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.
