LA 39 (Claiborne Avenue): Judge Seeber Bridge Cleaning and Painting – State Project No. H.001200

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces an update on the project to clean and paint the Judge Seeber (Claiborne Avenue) Bridge, a $4.8 million preservation project.

The contractor is currently working on touch-up painting, which should last through the project completion timeframe of mid-March. For the past few weeks, inclement weather has delayed the paint application process. Lane closures on the bridge will continue to be effect for the duration of the project.

The bridge is currently in the “down” position with one lane open in each direction for vehicular traffic. Marine traffic is passing through as scheduled.

All planned construction activities are weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. DOTD appreciates the public’s continued patience and reminds motorists to please drive with caution through the construction zone and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.
