Here are two road repair notices from DOTD that affect our area:

The La Department of Transportation and development reports the LA 509 Bridge over Crooked Bayou in Red River Parish has been reopened. The bridge was closed for several days to make repairs. That bridge is just east of the IP Plant.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that LA 783 in Red River Parish will be closed beginning at 8:00 am on Tuesday, August 8, 2017 and lasting until approximately 3:00 pm on Wednesday, August 9, 2017. The location of the closure is 8.1 miles north of US 71 and 1.1 miles south of LA 514. The purpose of the closure is to allow for pipe replacement.
