Back in March of this year, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced the start of a $1.6 million project to make a number of concrete pavement repairs at several locations throughout Caddo and Bossier Parishes.

The announced locations for repair work included:
- LA 3 (Benton Rd) from Viking Dr. to Cash Point Rd. in Bossier Parish
- LA 3032 (Shreveport-Barksdale Hwy) Bridge eastbound over the Red River
- LA 3036 (N. Common St) from LA 173 (Ford St) to US 71 (N. Market St) in Caddo Parish
- LA 511 (70th St) from Dixie Meadows Rd. to LA 1 (Youree Dr) in Caddo Parish
- LA 523 (Line Ave/Ellerbe Rd) from E. 85th St. to LA 526 (E. Bert Kouns) in Caddo Parish
- LA 3194 (MLK Jr. Drive) from US 71 (N. Market St) to LA 173 (Hilry Huckaby) in Caddo Parish
- LA 526 (Bert Kouns) from LA 511 (70th St) to Kingston Rd. in Caddo Parish
Work on the vast majority of these locations has already been completed, or is in progress now, and it would appear crews are ahead of the estimated Fall 2026 project completion.
That said, DOTD has just advised the next phase of this project will begin Monday, June 22, when the contractor will mobilize on LA 3032 eastbound (Shreveport-Barksdale Hwy) between the Red River Bridge and US 71 (Barksdale Blvd) in Bossier City.
Motorists should expect intermittent lane closures during non-peak travel times to allow construction activities to progress safely and efficiently. These repairs on LA 3036 are anticipated to take approximately one week, depending on weather conditions.
Drivers are reminded that work is still also being conducted on LA 3194 (MLK Drive) and LA 3036 (N. Common St) in Shreveport as part of this project…
