Morgan Drive closed Friday; more road work planned week of October 17

PONCHATOULA—Morgan Drive off of LA 22 in Ponchatoula will be closed during the workday on Friday so crews can replace a cross drain.

Miller said the work should be completed no later than 3 p.m.; however, traffic will be restricted from traveling in that area during the construction work.

Other Phase 22 projects planned this week include soil cement on Bella Gardens Circle, Ott Lane, Riverdale Heights Road, Brignac Road, Bradford Lane, Wilson Road, and Song of the Forest.

Dressing work is planned on Greco Road, Mayeaux, Crapanzano, Cannino Road, East Merry, Nicholas, Blaire Boulevard, Kayla, Penny, and North and East Charbonnet Road.

RPC crews will be milling and paving Sisters Road this week. They are also working on driveway aprons on Happywoods, Rufus Bankston, North Baptist, and Wardline Roads.
