Edgerly, Louisiana – Drivers using U.S. Highway 90 eastbound near Edgerly, Louisiana, should expect delays Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025, as roadwork leads to a daytime lane closure.

According to the project information, transportation officials plan partial lane closures for road construction on US 90 eastbound from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The work zone will stretch from about 0.08 miles west of Fabacher Road to about 0.08 miles east of Fabacher Road, with the right lane closed during that period.

The closure is described as a partial closure, meaning at least one lane will remain open to traffic. However, with only one lane available in the work area, drivers may experience slower travel times, especially during the morning and late afternoon.

Area And Route Details

US 90 is a major east–west route across southern Louisiana, serving local traffic as well as commercial vehicles. The limited work zone near Fabacher Road is relatively short in distance, but lane reductions on a busy corridor can still cause backups, particularly if traffic is heavy or if any other incident occurs nearby.

The closure affects only the eastbound direction. Westbound traffic is not listed as part of the work zone in the available information.

What Drivers Should Expect

During the 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. construction window, motorists traveling east on US 90 near Edgerly should be prepared for:

  • The right lane to be closed between the points just west and just east of Fabacher Road
  • Possible slower speeds and congestion in the approach to the work zone
  • Lane shifts or traffic cones guiding vehicles through the open lane

Drivers are encouraged to:

  • Allow extra time, especially during peak commute periods
  • Reduce speed in the work zone and follow posted signs
  • Stay alert for workers, equipment, and any sudden lane changes

No official detour has been listed in the provided information, suggesting that traffic will continue through the area using the remaining open lane instead of being rerouted onto other roads.

Safety And Construction

Daytime road construction can help improve long-term safety and driving conditions by allowing crews to repair damage before it worsens. Even short-term lane closures can reduce crash risks in the future if they address pavement issues, drainage, or other roadway problems.

For now, the work is scheduled for a single day, with both the start and end time set for Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025.

Motorists who regularly travel US 90 eastbound near Fabacher Road may want to adjust travel times or consider alternate routes if possible to avoid the most congested hours during the closure.
