Major Haughton Road Project Now Ready For Next Phase
Of late, traffic within the city limits of Haughton near I-20, has been extremely congested due to the huge road construction project currently underway, but it would appear there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development recently announced that the LA 3227 at LA 157 realignment project Phase 1 in Haughton, is now complete.
In the notification from DOTD, we learn that Phase 1 of this huge undertaking, was a $4.2 million project, and included the reconstruction of the LA 3227 approach to LA 157.
This construction was necessary to prepare for a new traffic configuration that will be implemented as part of Phase 2.
This phase also included the widening of LA 157 from two to five lanes near the Pilot Truck Stop on the east side of the roadway to accommodate growing traffic volumes.
According to LADOTD, Phase 2 of this project will provide the actual realignment portion of the work, which will move LA 3227 just south to connect with LA 157 at a newly built intersection. The existing traffic signal will also be relocated to this new intersection.
Also as part of future Phase 2, LA 3227, at its current intersection with LA 157, will be come a right-in, right-out only, and no cross traffic will be able to access LA 3227 from the north Pilot driveway.
Motorists wishing to access LA 3227 will simply drive 400 feet south to the new traffic signal, and turn at that location.
Phase 2 is scheduled to go to bid in March 2025, and will provide the culmination of the improvements to this busy intersection in order to help facilitate traffic flow and economic development for the growing Haughton community.
