DOTD to begin J-turns construction on US 90

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced that beginning today construction will begin on a $16 million project to construct J-turns on US 90 in St. Mary Parish.
The $16 million project will construct J-turns along an 11.2 mile section of US 90 between Calumet and Berwick.
For the duration of the construction, motorists can expect to incur intermittent lane closures. This project is estimated for completion in summer 2018.
The J-turn design will safely and efficiently manage traffic and eliminate left-turn and through movements from side roads and driveways into crossovers. All vehicles will be required to turn right and then U-turn at a median opening down the road.
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.
