S. College Road in Lafayette down to one lane due to sewer station construction

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — Drivers on S. College Road near the Oil Center should plan on taking a little extra time for a while.

As part of the Lafayette Utilities System’s South Gravity Lift Station construction, lanes will be closed on S. College near W. Bayou Parkway and Girard Park Drive until Nov. 14, LCG has announced.

The lane closures are necessary for the contractor to conduct large-scale boring operations to install a 24-inch pipe, according to LCG spokesperson Caylee Deshotel.

“Due to the size and complexity of the operation, the contractor will require multiple lanes to remain closed to accommodate drill pipe trailers, trucks hauling drilling mud, and vacuum trucks removing material as the pipe is installed,” Deshotel said.

The $18 million project, a major sewer lift station, is slated to provide additional sewer capacity for downtown, midtown and the surrounding areas, mitigate overflows and supply additional sewer capacity to serve approximately 2,000 homes, officials said. LCG held a groundbreaking for the project this morning.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution, follow posted signage and plan ahead for potential delays in the area, officials said.
