Hwy 1 going north out of Natchitoches is a disgrace. Put up one sign saying “substandard and hazarded road” because that’s what we have to drive on. Fix the darn road, nevermind the signs!!!
what happened to digging a 1 foot hole and adding quick crete ?
A huge footing is stupid and will break just as easy when a car or semi hits hit.I won’t even take Hwy now from Natchitoches to Powhattan that road is crap !!
Why would signs be so expensive?
Take a ride out to 49 and see how much concrete they are using to hold up
a mile marker or a stop sign at the off ramp.
They are spending over half a million dollars on signs? The condition of Hwy 1 North, between Texas Street and the Parish landfill is horrible! Can’t hardly do the speed limit, and they are spending half a million on signs?
931 signs on Hwy 1, 71, and 158 plus guard rails and conditions.
