The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that repairs to the LA 3015 bridge over Bayou Castor near the Village of Longstreet in DeSoto Parish are nearing completion.

The bridge, which has been closed since Monday, Jan. 6, to allow DOTD crews to perform necessary pile repairs, is set to reopen to traffic on Thursday, Jan. 9.

Located approximately 1.8 miles east of the intersection with LA 5, the bridge’s reopening will restore normal traffic flow to the area. Detour signage currently in place will be removed, and motorists will once again have access to this route.

This schedule remains WEATHER PERMITTING, but with progress proceeding on track, no additional delays are anticipated.

Thank you for your patience as we worked to ensure the safety and integrity of this vital infrastructure.
