DOTD continues road work, bridge inspections

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has many crews working throughout south Louisiana.
Intermittent lane closures to the U.S. 90 bridge across the Atchafalaya River in Morgan City continues.
Other planned work affecting area drivers include:
—Terrebonne Parish: U.S. 90 westbound off ramp and on ramp for La. 311 closes at 6 p.m. Monday and reopens at 7 a.m. Tuesday (weather permitting) for paving operations. Use U.S. 90 Exit 202 at La. 24 as a detour.
—Amelia: U.S. 90 eastbound at Bayou Boeuf Bridge, between Exit 181 (Amelia) and Exit 182 (U.S. 90 Business/LA 662 {Boeuf}), will have lane closures on 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 11 and 12, weather permitting.
These closures are necessary to allow crews to perform routine bridge inspections.
Emergency vehicles will have access to the area but may encounter delays.
The road will be open to regular traffic with a 16-foot lane restriction for U.S. 90 and a 12-foot lane restriction for the exit ramps on oversized loads passing through the work zone.
DOTD appreciates drivers’ patience and reminds everyone to drive with caution and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.
