Lake Charles, Louisiana - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD) has announced that the eastbound lane of East Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles will be closed to traffic from Louisiana Highway 14 (LA 14) to Derek Drive from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day on Monday, June 16, and Tuesday, June 17. The lane closure is required to allow crews to patch the roadway, addressing pavement wear and ensuring safer travel conditions for motorists.

Patchwork repairs typically involve filling potholes, smoothing uneven surfaces, and reinforcing sections of the road that have deteriorated due to weather, traffic loads, or natural wear and tear.

Drivers are strongly encouraged to plan ahead, expect potential delays, and use alternate routes if possible.
