Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish, Louisiana - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has scheduled alternating lane closures and shoulder work on Louisiana Highway 27, between Kelso Bayou Bridge and Ellender Bridge, starting Tuesday, July 22, 2025. The work is planned to continue daily through mid-August 2025, with lane closures occurring between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. each day. These times are subject to change based on weather conditions.
The closure is necessary to allow crews to perform essential road maintenance along this busy route in Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish. Maintenance work like this often involves tasks such as repairing pavement, upgrading shoulders, improving drainage, or replacing roadway signage. Daily lane closures mean one lane will be closed at a time, allowing traffic to alternate through the open lane. This approach helps minimize disruption to the thousands of vehicles that use LA 27 every day, but motorists should still expect delays and consider allowing extra travel time or seeking alternate routes.
DOTD urges drivers to use caution, obey posted signage, and watch for workers and equipment in the area.
