Lake Charles, Louisiana – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has announced that there will be alternating intermittent lane closures in all directions at the intersection of LA 14 and McNeese Street on Thursday, January 23, 2025. The closures are set to occur from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and are a necessary step for crews to install new signal equipment designed to improve traffic flow and safety at the busy intersection.

During this period, motorists should anticipate delays as traffic patterns may be disrupted. The work is part of ongoing efforts by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to maintain and enhance the infrastructure of the state's roadways. Signal equipment, which includes traffic lights and sensors, plays a crucial role in managing vehicle movement and reducing the likelihood of crashes at intersections.

Officials have emphasized that all work is dependent on weather conditions. If there is still inclement weather at the time, the installation may be postponed to ensure the safety of both workers and drivers. Motorists are encouraged to plan alternate routes if possible and to remain alert while driving through the area during the closure times.
