They still haven't figured out how to handle the ones in Walker yet.

Roundabouts, roadworks and turn lanes: See the big projects coming to Livingston Parish

LINK

A bunch of roundabouts, road works and infrastructure projects will be coming to Livingston Parish over the next few years, thanks to a big infusion of state money.



quote:


A roundabout at La. 1019 at Magnolia Beach Road, which local leaders have sought for years, finally has funding; it's scheduled for bid soon, Mincey said.



quote:

Another roundabout planned for Walker Road North and Arnold Road is in the design stage. A study of the project was started in 2019 and was completed in the first quarter of this year.


quote:

Another roundabout at Eden Church Road and Lockhart Road will be put out for bid in spring of 2023.


quote:

Meanwhile, the roundabout slated for Juban Road and U.S. Hwy 190 has faced significant challenges.

The project was put out for bid in Feb. 2018. Although it typically takes a year to relocate utilities, they weren't relocated until Feb. 2021.



quote:

This past June, crews finally broke ground on the long-awaited Cook Road Extension that has been in the works for about 12 years.

The project is completely funded and will connect La. 16 to Juban Road at Juban Crossing. The contractor has been "grubbing" the site — cleaning the trees and clearing the right-of-way.

Juban North Extension, or extending Juban Road from U.S. Hwy 190 to Lockhart Road was fully funded this year. With four lanes and sidewalks, the project is in the design stages.

Mincey said he is currently working with local officials to focus on four of the main "arteries" in the Denham Springs and Walker area: 4-H Club Road, Range Avenue, Juban Road and La. 447.

W. Monroe got one a few years back and there was nothing but a bunch of crying from people that I guess were too ignorant to know how to navigate them. It turned a traffic jam red light into smooth flowing traffic. I wish they'd put more in state wide, I hate stop lights and 4-way stops.

Awesome. They been trying to put one in at Juban & Florida for years now and widen Juban. The contractor seemingly has abandoned ship and nothing is being done. DOTD administration does nothing. Holds no one accountable... Contractor must donate to Jon Bel Fuqhead.

I recently drove in Turks & Caicos where there are no stop lights, only roundabouts. I absolutely love them. Traffic flow is so much better.

Wish they would put one at 42 and 16. The roundabout on the Ascension side doesn’t work worth a shite at 5 o'clock when the light across the river backs shite up.

I feel like there’s always one arse hole that has to blast through it instead of being patient and driving at a safe pace to let people merge

Generally speaking though I do prefer them I just wish people were more polite to let people merge and it operate the way it is intended

Is this part of the infrastructure bill Biden signed? Im serious. Did they give each state a certain amount? If so, did state congress decide how it would be used?

Im just asking because there seems to be areas that are traveled by a lot more people, that should be fixed first.
