Lafayette, LA (
KLFY) –
Lafayette Consolidated Government’s Traffic, Roads, and Bridges Department (LCG) announced upcoming changes to traffic flow on University Avenue as part of ongoing improvements to the
University Avenue Corridor Project.
Beginning tomorrow, nightly alternating lane closures will take place on University Avenue between Cameron Street (US 90) and I-10. According to LCG, these closures are necessary for pavement and striping modifications as the contractor transitions to Phase II of construction.
In the coming three to four weeks, a new traffic configuration within the project limits will take place. As part of this change, left turns will no longer be permitted along median sections under construction. Existing daytime lane closures will remain in effect throughout this phase, LCG said.
The nightly lane closures are expected to continue through Spring 2026.
While LCG recognizes these changes may present new challenges to motorists, they ask all drivers to use caution in the area, follow posted signage, and allow extra travel time during this project.
