The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced a series of alternating lane closures in Alexandria beginning Monday, June 22 at 9 a.m., weather permitting, as part of the District 08 Flashing Yellow Arrow Upgrade Project.

The work will impact multiple corridors, including I-49, US 165 Business, LA 1, and LA 28 in Rapides Parish. Crews will conduct alternating lane closures from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at several intersections, with one lane in each direction remaining open at all times.

Affected intersections include Bolton Avenue at Odom Street, Rapides Avenue, Elliot Street, and Jackson Street; Monroe Street at Texas Avenue; LA 28 at Barron Chapel Road; Broadway Avenue at Eddie Williams Avenue; and 3rd Street at Willow Glen River Road.

According to DOTD, the closures are required to install new mast arms on signal pole foundations and complete related construction work.

The project is scheduled for completion at all listed intersections by June 26, 2026, though timelines may shift due to weather and other construction factors.

The contract for the project was awarded to Jack B. Harper Electrical, LLC in the amount of $9,040,462.73.
