The City of Natchitoches announces the upcoming closure of Touline Street at its intersection with Second Street, as part of the ongoing project to replace the existing deteriorated concrete pavement on Second Street.

This closure, which is necessary for tying in the new concrete pavement to the existing Second Street pavement, will begin on Tuesday morning, Sept. 8 and will continue until storm drain work and the new concrete pavement are completed in that area. It is anticipated this work will be completed within two to three weeks, weather permitting, at which time Second Street from Church Street to Touline Street will be re-opened to traffic in both directions.

During this phase of the work, THIS INTERSECTION WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED TO ALL TRAFFIC. Motorists must detour around the work site via adjacent City streets.

The City of Natchitoches appreciates the patience of the public as this construction work proceeds and urges motorists to heed all advance warning signs and other traffic control devices.

As a reminder, this project is being funded by the State Capital Outlay Program, with a 25% local match being contributed by the City of Natchitoches.
