Lafayette, LA – According to the state officials, construction is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 13, 2024, with necessary intermittent lane closures going into place. 

The purpose of the project is to install a number of measures that have been proven to improve the safety of certain intersections based on their geometry and the crash history at those locations.

The project includes removing the median on US 165 at Lonewa Road, and converting Lonewa Road to a right in/right out only.

Directional U-Turn openings will be built north and south of the intersection for those motorists wishing to turn left, along with turn lanes.
