Due to unforeseen circumstances, the City of Natchitoches announces revisions to the schedule
released earlier today for upcoming construction work on East Fifth Street and Woodyard Drive.
The closure of East Fifth Street from Royal Street to just north of Bienville Street previously planned for 4-8 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 2 has been re-scheduled to Monday, Oct. 6. During this time, this section of East Fifth Street will be CLOSED TO ALL TRAFFIC. Bienville Street at the intersection of East Fifth Street will remain open to traffic.
Asphalt pavement removal on a 1,200-linear foot section of Woodyard Drive located approximately 0.2 mile east of South Drive will be performed on Monday, October 6. During this operation, one-lane, two-way traffic will be maintained by use of flaggers. Base reconstruction work will follow on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 7 during which time this section of Woodyard Drive will be CLOSED TO THROUGH TRAFFIC for approximately four hours, which will require motorists to detour around the work site via Abbie Drive and Saida Street. Placement of the new asphalt surfacing on both streets is scheduled for later next week. During this operation, one-way, two-lane traffic will be maintained by use of flaggers.
This work is part of the City of Natchitoches 2025 Street Rehabilitation Program. The contractor is Apeck Construction LLC of Anacoco.
