Intermittent lane closures are necessary to allow room for working and the safety of inspectors while they do their job and a pair of Caddo and Bossier Parish bridges are next on the list for those routine inspections.

The next of these inspections will take place this Saturday, July 29th and Sunday, July 30, as the LA Hwy. 511 Jimmie Davis bridge over the Red River in Caddo and Bossier parishes will be reduced to one lane.

Lane closures are scheduled to be in place from approximately 7:30 am to 5:00 pm each day. Flagging operations will be in place to allow traffic to cross over the bridge. Vehicles 11 feet or smaller will be allowed to pass through the bridge inspection zone. Larger vehicles will need to detour.

Then, beginning Monday, July 31st and continuing through Wednesday, August 2nd, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development will conduct inspections of the Miller's Bluff Bridge on LA Highway 2 over the Red River in Caddo and Bossier Parishes.

This structure is located approximately 3.3 miles east of US Hwy. 71. Lane closure is scheduled to take place from approximately 7:30 am to 5:00 pm each day. Flagging operations will be in place to allow traffic to cross the bridge.

Vehicles 11 feet or smaller will be allowed to pass through the bridge inspection zone while larger vehicles will need to detour.

As with all DOTD projects, this work will be performed weather permitting and inclement weather could postpone or prolong these scheduled activities.
