According to the DOTD, the emergency closure was necessary due to the condition of the structure, with repairs scheduled to begin as soon as materials arrive.

Currently, there is no date on reopening, but DOTD will issue an update when further information is available.

This bridge is located over an unnamed waterway, immediately south of LA 532.

The DOTD goes on to say that this is a total road closure at the specified location. All vehicles will need to detour. Detour signage will be in place.

As with all projects from the DOTD, this work will be done weather permitting, so delays, postponements or extensions of this work could be possible due to inclement weather.

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
