Louisiana 694 is scheduled to close about 0.37 miles south of LA 335 in Vermilion Parish from 7 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, until 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, weather permitting, according to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. DOTD says the closure is needed to replace a drainage pipe beneath the roadway.
The agency says emergency vehicles will not have access to the closed area. It will not post a detour; DOTD says local traffic may use LA 82 and LA 693. That is an agency-provided option, not a signed detour or a guarantee of travel time.
If this stretch is part of your trip, choose your route before leaving and check DOTD's closure notice for any weather-related schedule change. The notice asks drivers to use caution around crews and equipment.
