Shreveport, LA – The Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement Project has outlined scheduled construction activities and anticipated traffic disruptions. These include the closure of the northbound left lane, southbound left lane, respective left turning lanes at the intersection, and the bulb out at Burmaster. These impacts are weather-permitting and subject to change.
The project team is actively working to minimize the disruptions caused by lane closures. Ongoing evaluations are being conducted to determine whether lane closures can be shifted to nighttime and weekend hours, with cooperation from the USCG, PPG, PPSO, and DOTD. The public’s patience is greatly appreciated as work on the new Belle Chasse Bridge continues.
