In a notice to all drivers, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has announced the start of a project that will provide repairs to portions of several routes in both Caddo and Bossier Parishes.

Work on the $2.2 million project is scheduled to begin this Wednesday, November 19, 2025, weather permitting.

One of the roadways set to receive full-depth patching to repair the roadway base at specified locations, milling to remove the old asphalt, new asphalt paving, and new roadway striping is an approximate 2.9 mile stretch of LA 614 from US 80 to LA 157 in Haughton.

Couple this newly announced project with the ongoing road work on LA 157 at LA 3227 and there could be times when Haughton traffic could rival that in Dallas.
