Drivers urged to plan ahead for road closure

A heavily-traveled road in Baton Rouge will close for two weeks as crews work to widen it.

Beginning Monday at 5 a.m., South Harrell's Ferry Road will be closed between Jones Creek Road and Manchester Drive.  During that time, workers will relocate a pipeline required to widen South Harrell's Ferry to four lanes.

Weather permitting, the road will reopen Monday, Jan. 25.

Drivers can use Jones Creek Road, George O'Neal Lane and O'Neal Lane as detours.  Access to South Harrell's Ferry Road from Lirocchi Drive will also be closed during that period with a detour provided to O'Neal Lane.
