TRAFFIC ADVISORY


City Parish officials announced that traffic will be shifting on Jones Creek Road between Coursey Boulevard and Tiger Bend Road due to construction.
The southbound traffic on Jones Creek Road will move to the far west side of the newly-constructed section of Jones Creek Road. The location of the northbound traffic lane will remain on the far eastern side of the existing roadway. Phase 2 construction will start between these two lanes, in the center of Jones Creek Road on Jan. 23, weather permitting. This phase of construction is expected to last about two months.
As construction progresses, the left turn access between the two lanes will be restricted. Also due to space constraints large trucks will be prohibited from making left turns and U-turns.
Drivers are encouraged to plan their route accordingly, using caution throughout the construction zone. For more information, call Project Engineer Mike Olson at (225) 389-3202.
