By Calcasieu Staff

Published May 10, 2024

Lake Charles, Louisiana - A section of LA 14 Northbound in Lake Charles, Louisiana, will experience intermittent lane closures from Tuesday, May 14, to Thursday, May 16, 2024, as utility work is scheduled to take place. The partial closure, affecting the two right lanes, will occur daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Motorists are advised to plan their route in advance, as the lane closures will impact traffic flow between Power Centre Pkwy and McKinley St. Although the closure is intermittent, drivers can expect delays and should allow extra time for their commute.

The utility work is part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the region's infrastructure. While the lane closures may cause inconvenience, they are necessary to ensure the safe and efficient operation of essential services.

It is essential for drivers to stay informed about roadwork and plan their routes accordingly. By doing so, they can minimize the impact of the lane closures and ensure a smoother commute.

It is worth noting that this type of closure is considered a partial closure, which means that not all lanes will be closed at the same time. However, drivers should still exercise caution and be prepared for changing traffic conditions.
