The City of Natchitoches announces continued construction work on Myrtle Drive and Virginia Avenue, as well as the upcoming start of work on two other streets in the City system.

Cement-treated base construction is taking place on Monday, September 15, 2025, on Myrtle Drive and will continue on the adjacent section of Virginia Avenue on Tuesday, September 16. It is anticipated that new asphalt surfacing will be constructed on both of these streets later this week.

Cold-planing work to remove the existing asphalt surfacing on Ouida Drive is anticipated to be performed later this week, followed by cement-treated base construction.

Removal and replacement of deteriorated sections of concrete curb-and-gutter is expected to begin on
Brahma Drive by middle of this week.

While these construction activities are ongoing, residents should expect minor inconvenience and
temporary short-term access delays. While traveling through these work sites, motorists are urged to
exercise caution and to obey all warning signs and flagger instructions.

This work is part of the City’s FY 2023 Louisiana Community Development Block Grant Street Improvements project, which also includes ongoing concrete pavement replacement work on J.C. Deblieux Drive that should wrap up later this week. The contractor is Regional Construction, LLC, of Natchitoches.
