CCC lane closures scheduled this weekend

If you’re frustrated with bridge traffic on the Crescent City Connection, hang onto your seatbelt. There are more lane closures coming up this weekend.

NEW ORLEANS — Thursday, August 29th, from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m., you can expect the left two lanes of the CCC Westbound to be closed to remove concrete barriers.

Friday, August 30th from 4 am to 7 pm, just the left-most lane will be closed.

And then Friday night, from 7 pm to 4 am, the left two lanes will be closed.

Everything will be back open at 4 am on Saturday, August 31st.

So, with the decorative lights up and working, when is all of this going to be over?

The project – and the lane closures that came with it – began in late April.

Right now, the Department of Transportation estimates the 21-million dollar project will be finished by mid-December.

They tell us there will be more lane closures until then, but they’ll be after 7 pm and shouldn’t impact traffic.

DOTD says the next phase of the project will include more light installation, checking each of the lights, and scene testing.
