Intersection Improvement for Ryan Street at University Drive and McNeese Street in Lake Charles – Work Begins May 28, 2019
DOTD announces the start of a $2 million project to improve the intersection of LA 385 (Ryan Street), LA 384 (University Drive) and McNeese Street. Improvements to the intersection include installing a dedicated left turn lane on LA 385 southbound, installing pedestrian crossing signals at all four corners of the intersection of LA 384/LA 385 and McNeese Street, and reconfigurations to LA 384 north and southbound lanes. The below graphic provides an overview of how the intersection will be after the completion of the project.
The projects begin with LA 384 (University Drive) northbound and McNeese Street westbound (west side of the intersection in front of Valero) being reduced to one lane on Tuesday, May 28 through Wednesday, May 29. The project is estimated to be complete December 2019, weather permitting.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking or biking near an active work zone. DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through work zones and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.
