Bossier City Streets to See Lane Closure Starting December 2
Bossier City residents, mark your calendars! Starting on Monday, December 2, 2024, you’ll notice a bit of a traffic shuffle as the northbound outside (right) lane of Airline Drive takes a temporary break. The closure will last for around 10 days, during which the city will be hard at work on essential upgrades to our water system.
Where’s the Action Happening?
So, what’s the deal? The lane closure will stretch between McElroy Street and Inda Street, just a short 0.15 miles north of the bustling intersection of LA 3105 and US 71 (that’s Barksdale Boulevard for those who travel frequently). It’s a busy area, so this is definitely something to keep on your radar!
Need to Get Around? Here’s How!
As with any construction or lane closure, it’s crucial to have a game plan. If you usually travel this route, make sure to opt for alternate paths to make your journey smoother. McElroy Street will only be accessible from Fullilove Drive, and those headed down Beverly Street can hop on from US 71. Definitely keep this in mind to help avoid any unnecessary detours or delays!
What’s the Reason Behind It?
You might be wondering why this lane closure is needed in the first place. Well, the City of Bossier is rolling up its sleeves to conduct important work on the city’s water system. Ensuring that our water infrastructure is up to par is vital for the health and safety of all residents. So, while it may cause a little inconvenience, it’s all for the greater good!
Looking Ahead
The lane will reopen once the work is completed, which is anticipated to be around December 12, 2024. So, if you can hold off on those errands or find another route for a couple of weeks, it’ll be worth it in the long run!
