The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) advises motorists that alternating lane closures will take place on US 167 near Melrose Street in Pineville beginning Thursday, July 16, weather permitting.
On Thursday, July 16, alternating lane closures will be in effect from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on US 167 northbound near Melrose Street (LA 107).
Beginning Friday, July 17, alternating lane closures will be in effect from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the following locations:
- US 167 northbound near Melrose Street (LA 107)
- US 167 southbound near Melrose Street (Zion Hill Church)
The closures are necessary to install Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) infrastructure along the US 167 Expressway corridor and install new guardrail.
DOTD anticipates work at these locations will be completed by July 17, weather permitting and subject to other factors that may impact construction schedules.
The project, identified as H.011504.6, Alexandria ITS – Phase 2, was awarded to Grady Crawford Construction Co. Inc. for $2,195,805.53.
A 12-foot lane width restriction will be in place. No detours are associated with the project.
DOTD reminds motorists that construction activities are weather dependent and encourages drivers to use caution while traveling through work zones and watch for workers and equipment.
