ST. MARTIN PARISH, La. – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that work is continuing to progress on a $12 million preservation project along a 5.61-mile stretch of La. 328 (Anse Broussard Highway) in St. Martin Parish.
La. 328 Closure near Bear Creek Subdivision
The subcontractor, Merrick, LLC, is currently performing drainage work and is planning to finish the backfill and any additional minor construction work at the road closure early next week.
La. 328 Mainline
As work wraps up on the closed section of La. 328, the Prime Contractor, Prairie Contractors, LLC, will begin performing roadway asphalt operations. Personnel and equipment will be mobilized to the mainline beginning midweek. Weather permitting, the prime contractor’s goal is to have the roadway open at the end of next week.
Remaining work for this overall project includes pipe and permanent erosion control installation, corrective work necessary for the box culvert and headwalls, application of another layer of asphalt over the entire length of the project, construction of a turn lane near the intersection of La. 347, and other related construction work.
The estimated completion for the overall project is early 2025.
