Pipeline Repairs in Westlake Prompt Trousdale Road Lane Closure, Expect Delays

By Calcasieu Staff

Published June 11, 2025

Westlake, Louisiana - Motorists traveling through Westlake, Louisiana, should prepare for daily lane closures on Trousdale Road between the railroad crossing and US 90, starting Saturday, June 14, and continuing until Wednesday, June 18. The closure affects the southbound lane each day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to allow crews to excavate and repair an existing underground pipeline.

According to local authorities, no formal detour will be in place, emphasizing the need for drivers to anticipate delays and exercise caution while traveling through the area.

Drivers passing through Westlake or making connections to US 90 should plan additional travel time and watch for posted signage, flaggers, and possible shifts in traffic patterns. Authorities urge all motorists to reduce speed and stay alert for equipment and personnel while work is underway.
