(UPDATE 10/28/2025): DOTD announces an update to the ongoing $12 million project to replace six rural bridges in Red River and Bienville Parishes.

On Friday, October 31, 2025, the LA 507 bridge over an unnamed waterway near the Village of Castor is scheduled to be REOPENED following its replacement. This bridge was previously closed in Jan. 2025, and is located approximately 0.5 miles southwest of the intersection of LA 507, LA 4, and LA 153 in Bienville Parish.

Beginning on Monday, November 3, 2025, the next bridge on LA 507 in this project will close for replacement. This bridge is located over an unnamed creek, approximately 0.12 miles south of the intersection of LA 514 and LA 507 in Red River Parish.

This bridge closure is scheduled to be in place approximately 9 months, with progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors that can impact construction timelines.

The Minden Road bridge over Stanley Creek in Red River Parish also remains under construction as part of this project, and is anticipated to reopen in late November 2025.

Restrictions/Permits: Total road closure at the specified location on LA 507. All vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route.

Alternate Route: Detour signage will be in place.
