LDOT has announced a $4.8 million project on La. 88 from Snapper Road to New Horizon Drive, and on Fremin Road at its west junction with La. 88.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has announed a significant lane restriction impacting New Iberia and Iberia Parish motorists.

Starting Friday, US 90 Eastbound and Westbound will be reduced to one lane in each direction beginning Friday, Nov. 4 at 7 a.m. The lane reductions will continue throughout the project and are estimated to last approximately one year.

The lane closures will allow crews to start constructing diversion roads in preparation of moving all traffic onto the westbound lanes in a two-way traffic pattern.

Through traffic will be maintained on US 90 Eastbound and Westbound with a 10-foot wide maximum restriction on oversize loads. All entry and exit ramps will remain open at this time.

The closures are related to the roadway construction project to rebuild the travel lanes on US 90 from LA 14 (Center St) to LA 83 (Weeks Island Rd.) in Iberia Parish.

Emergency vehicles will have access to this area but delays are expected.
