Major repairs underway at Plank Road bridge, drivers on Airline Highway face detours for two weeks
BATON ROUGE – Drivers heading westbound on Airline Highway can expect a short detour at the Plank Road bridge as the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development performs needed repairs to the overpass.
Commuters will have to take the service road around the construction site while DOTD works 24 hours a day for the next 14 days to finish up.
DOTD spokesperson Rodney Mallett said by doing this, they’ll be able to get out of the way faster.
