BRIDGE REPLACEMENT ON BEAU PRE ROAD SCHEDULED TO BEGIN MARCH 10

Lafayette, LA –Lafayette Consolidated Government’s Traffic, Roads, and Bridges Department announces the upcoming closure of the bridge on Beau Pre Road, located approximately 0.60 miles northeast of W. Pinhook Road, for a full replacement. The closure is scheduled to begin on Monday, March 10, 2025, and is expected to last for approximately 10 months.

The project involves the removal of the existing three-span concrete bridge with timber piles and the construction of a new three-span cast-in-place concrete bridge with concrete piles. The replacement is necessary due to deteriorating timber piles and severe erosion at the bridge abutments.

During the closure, detour routes will be posted, and local access will be maintained.

• Businesses south of the bridge will remain accessible from W. Pinhook Road.
• Businesses north of the bridge can be accessed via SW Frontage Road.

Detour Routes:

• W. Pinhook Road
• Southpark Road
• SW Frontage Road

LCG appreciates the public’s patience as this necessary infrastructure improvement is completed. Drivers are urged to follow detour signs, use caution in the area, and plan travel accordingly.
