BRIDGE CLOSURE: LA 529 over Caney Creek, Bossier Parish

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Monday, June 8, 2026, the LA 529 bridge over Caney Creek in northeast Bossier Parish will be closed.

This bridge closure is scheduled to be in place through Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and is necessary to allow for piling repair.

This bridge is located 2.2 miles north of the intersection of LA 160 (see included map).

Restrictions/Permits: Total road closure at the specified location. All vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route.

Alternate Route: Detour signage will be in place.

This work will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING.

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.

UPDATE - NIGHTTIME LANE CLOSURES: Jimmie Davis Bridge project (LA 511) in Caddo & Bossier Parishes

(UPDATE 6/1/2026): DOTD advises motorists that the nighttime lane closures as part of the ongoing Jimmie Davis Bridge (LA 511) project in Caddo & Bossier Parishes are still in effect.

The lane closures, which take place Monday-Saturday from 6:00pm - 6:00am, are expected to remain in place until approximately Saturday, June 20, 2026.

At that time, the lane closures will be removed while painting of the existing bridge is underway. Once painting is complete, the lane closures will resume to allow for the containment system to be removed.

NIGHTTIME RAMP CLOSURES: I-220 westbound at I-20 interchange, Bossier Parish

BOSSIER CITY – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that on the nights of Monday, June 1st, Tuesday, June 2nd, and Wednesday, June 3, 2026, the following ramps in Bossier City will be closed:

I-20 westbound to I-220 westbound (Exit 26)
I-20 eastbound to I-220 westbound (Exit 26)

These ramp closures are scheduled to take place from approximately 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. each night, and are necessary to allow for permanent roadway striping operations to take place at the interchange as part of the $128 million I-20 major rehabilitation project.

Westbound motorists will continue on to I-20 westbound. Drivers wishing to access I-220 may do so via the LA 782-2 (Industrial Drive) exit to US 80 (E. Texas St) to I-220.

Overall, the I-20 major rehab project, which fully rebuilt a 3.5-mile section of the interstate through Bossier City, is nearing completion. Permanent roadway striping is the primary activity that is still currently underway, requiring intermittent lane/ramp closures for safety and efficiency.

To read more about the history of the project, visit the I-20 major rehab project webpage here.

As a reminder, the commercial motor vehicle ban has been lifted through the work zone.

Safety reminder:

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Bossier Parish Police Jury Acts on Facilities, Community Programs, and Road Projects

The Bossier Parish Police Jury covered a wide range of projects and community efforts during its May 20 Regular Agenda Meeting, focusing on improving parish facilities, supporting local programs, and planning for future growth.

Facility Improvements

Jurors approved facility upgrades at the Bossier Parish Maximum Security Facility to improve operations and maintain safety.
• New ball valves will help control water flow throughout the building.
• The upgrades support ongoing efforts to keep the facility safe, secure, and current.

They also accepted the completion of renovations to the Bossier Parish Library Administration Building, marking the end of that improvement project.
The Jury approved an additional $200,000 for the Benton Branch library’s air conditioning system. The extra funding will help make sure the building remains comfortable and reliable for visitors and staff.

Support for a Foster Care Program

The Jury approved a zoning request from House of Grace, a group home that helps young women aging out of foster care. The approval allows the program to expand.

Jurors noted the program’s positive impact, helping young women gain stability and life skills. Plans for future growth were also discussed as the organization continues to serve more residents.
Planning for Growth

The Jury agreed to support the update of the Unified Development Code led by the Bossier City/Parish Metropolitan Planning Commission. This effort will help guide future development and growth across the parish. The cost for the update is shared among several local government groups.

Road Project Updates

Parish Engineer Eric Hudson gave an update on four road projects currently underway in Bossier Parish. Jury members reviewed the progress as part of ongoing efforts to improve roads and transportation.

Infrastructure

Jurors received an update from the utilities department on the new water well serving the Bossier Maximum Security Facility.
• The well supplies water to the facility.
• It produces 235 gallons per minute.
• Its operation allowed officials to take the old well offline.

Recognition and Resolution

In other business, Jurors adopted a resolution declaring Friday, May 22, as National Maritime Day, recognizing the importance of the maritime industry to both the local economy and the nation.

They also honored several employees and jurors for service milestones ranging from 5 to 30 years, thanking them for their dedication to the parish.

The Bossier Parish Police Jury continues to focus on practical improvements, strong community programs, and planning for the parish’s future.
