The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is advising motorists that the bridge on LA 480 over Sims Bayou in Natchitoches Parish will be reduced to one lane on Tuesday, June 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting.

The closure is needed to allow routine bridge inspections on Bridge No. 083503050200881. The bridge is located about 3.7 miles west of the intersection of LA 3163 near Campti.

No detour will be required, as one lane of traffic will remain open at all times. However, officials are advising that no wide loads will be permitted through the area during the inspection period.

DOTD is reminding motorists to use caution around work crews and equipment in the area.
