Acadian Thruway closures expected throughout the day

DOTD officials will close La 427, Acadian Thruway, between I-10 and Perkins Road effective immediately on and off throughout the day.  This is due to repairs being made to one of the two pumps which operate in the pump house.   All efforts will be made to keep this roadway open as much as possible.

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to drive safely and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

If you have any questions regarding this closure, please contact Mr. Albert Shield, Jr at 225-329-7717, or Michael Vosburg at 231-4116.
