The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced on Friday that work to repair a section of Hearne Avenue (US Highway 171) in Shreveport. The $9.6 million project includes full-depth patching to repair the roadway in specific locations, removal of old asphalt, and installation of new asphalt for a 4.6-mile stretch of Hearne Avenue from LA 3132 to US 80 (Greenwood Road).
Drainage improvements and the installation of permanent signage and roadway striping are also included in the project, slated to start on Friday, October 3, and are expected to end in late Spring 2026.
The DOTD is advising drivers to expect delays during peak travel times and to drive safely when traveling through the construction zone, as alternating road closures will be necessary.
Also starting on October 3 is a $4.7 million project to repair a portion of LA 530 near the Town of Oil City in north Caddo Parish.
The project includes full-depth patching to repair the base of the roadway at specified locations, milling to remove the old asphalt, and new asphalt paving on 5.3 miles of LA 530 from LA 538 in Oil City to I-49.
