One lane of US 90 closed during officer’s funeral

In honor of Jeanerette Police Officer Juandre Gilliam, the St. Mary Parish fire departments will be blocking the west bound lane of US 90 Saturday.
The highway will be blocked at each intersection from Patterson to the Sorrel exit starting at about 2 p.m. to allow the funeral procession to pass.
Fire departments are encouraging citizens and civic groups to join the remembrance by lining US 90 at the intersections to pay respects to Officer Gilliam who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to his community.
The lane closure should last about an hour. West bound traffic should use La. 182 during the closure.
