Beaver Bayou Bridge on Frenchtown Road Closes

By  | 

From the City of Central
    On Friday, August 23, after an inspection discovered a washout, the City-Parish closed the Beaver Bayou bridge on Frenchtown Rd as part of their off-system bridge maintenance agreement with DOTD.  This was considered an emergency closure, and it is not the planned closure to replace the bridge. The bridge replacement will occur in 2014.
    City-Parish officials estimate that repairs can be made within 3 to 4 weeks.  Detour route is Frenchtown Rd to Planchet Rd to Thibodeaux Rd to Morgan Rd.   Timing adjustments were made to the signal at Greenwell Springs and Morgan Rd on Monday, August 26 to allow additional green time for Morgan Rd due to the detour traffic.  Adjustments were also made to the signal at Central Thruway and Greenwell Springs Rd as well. The public is advised to please obey all speed limits on the detour route and drive safely.
