Good news, the Bluebonnet overlay work should be completed by Feb 2026

The repaving of Jefferson Highway is now one month behind schedule due to crews discovering "unsuitable soils" while removing the old roadway.
The Department of Transportation of Development said that while removing the portion of Jefferson Highway between I-12 and Chelsea Drive, DOTD encountered unsuitable soils that changed the course of their work.
Officials said work in the impacted section should resume by the end of the week. The project is scheduled to be completed by February 2026.

They actually admitted that they take almost 2 years to overlay a street?

Has anyone given an explanation for why it will take them two years (a deadline they also won't meet) to repave a couple miles of straight road?

Why aren’t these people working nights and weekends?

How about we pave Nicholson? The pavement has been ripped up for almost a year now. It really adds to the third world shithole aura when out of town teams and fans come to LSU for games.

Of all the places that needed new overlay, why did they decide on Bluebonnet?

this sounds suspicious........you can't tell me that some hwy engineer for the state didn't have a geotech report on his desk BEFORE crews actually hit the ground if sub-surface soils were a factor in design

Was the Highway initially built on unsuitable soils?

4 lane-ing a 3 mile stretch of Sullivan Rd in Central is going to take 2 years, with the drainage work. The awesome thing is that it will of course run over, which means it's going to be going on while they're expanding Hooper Rd and overlaying Wax Rd. I can't wait!
Eta: what is the correct verbiage? None of them look right to me.

I drive through that area every day and it’s amazing how many days there’s absolutely no work taking place.

Ahhh the (planned) unplanned change order. Now the construction company can actually make what it costs to repair instead of their low bid to secure the job.

Our construction time delays seem to be planned by a bunch of arse clowns.
Why does everything take excessively long?
