BATON ROUGE — Drivers along Pecue Lane are seeing new progress as the long-running road project enters its final stage. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has opened the intersection at Rieger Road, a key connection that has been closed for much of the construction.
DOTD spokesperson Rodney Mallet said the opening marks a major milestone but noted that crews still have work to complete before the intersection is fully finished.
“The Rieger Road intersection is open. It’s not fully complete — we still have to do the striping and set the signals up for all the lane changes, and turn lanes and such like that,” Mallet said…
