FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROADSIDE DRAINAGE WORK TO BEGIN

The City of Natchitoches announces that, weather permitting, roadside drainage work will begin during the week of February 5, 2024, on Carver Street from the intersection of Williams Avenue to the intersection of East Fifth Street.

This work, which consists of side-drain pipe replacement at selected locations and grading and shaping roadside ditches, is part of the City’s 2023-24 Street Rehabilitation Program, and will be followed by base reconstruction and placement of new asphalt surfacing on this street.

It is not anticipated that the drainage work will necessitate the complete closure of the street, but recurring lane closures will be necessary.  Motorists are urged to obey all warning signs and flagger instructions when traveling through this workzone.

This roadside drainage work is expected to last two to three weeks, weather permitting.

For more information, please contact Mr. Nick Verret, City Engineer, at (318) 352-3877.
