Parish residents traveling north and south on Highway 25 just south of the Louisiana-Mississippi state line next week will see a major road closure.
A project to replace a drainage pipe that runs under the highway will result in LA 25 south of Warnerton being closed from 6 a.m. Monday, June 23 until during the day of Saturday, June 28.
Detour signs will be posted.
LA DOTD officials note that the highway will be closed in both directions and no vehicles will be permitted to cross the detour area.
The re-opening of the highway on Saturday, June 28, is dependent on good weather during the week. DOTD officials said the work will be done as quickly as possible and they appreciate the patience and understanding of motorists. For safety reasons, drivers are asked to follow the detour signs and to completely avoid the construction area.
