The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that, effective immediately, the LA 515 bridge over Coushatta Bayou, near Crichton, in Red River Parish will be closed for necessary bridge repair.

This closure will remain in place until repairs are complete. DOTD will issue notification when the bridge has been reopened.

This bridge is located approximately 1.1 miles north of US 71.

Alternate route: Total road closure. All vehicles will need to detour using US 71 to LA 514 to LA 515.

That same bridge was closed for a few weeks back in May and June of 2018.  At that time several pilings were replaced.
