Lake Charles, Louisiana – Beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 12, both the northbound and southbound lanes of the 300 block of Kirkman Street in Lake Charles will be closed to vehicular traffic, according to local officials.
The closure will affect the stretch of Kirkman Street between Pryce Street and Belden Street. Crews are scheduled to install a sewer tap in the area, a connection that links a property’s plumbing system to the main public sewer line. Work of this kind typically requires crews to dig into the roadway, which makes a full lane closure necessary for safety and access to underground utility lines.
Weather permitting, the closure is expected to remain in place until 6 p.m. the same day, Friday, Dec. 12. Drivers who routinely use this section of Kirkman Street should plan to use alternate routes and allow extra travel time, especially during morning and late-afternoon peak hours.
No additional details about detours, pedestrian access, or nearby parking changes were provided in the announcement.
