Houma Navigation Canal Bridge set to close for a week

The Houma Navigation Canal Bridge will be closed for a week, beginning in the morning hours of Feb. 22

The closure, which will estimated to last through 6 p.m. on Feb. 28, is to give the Department of Transportation and Development’s contractor ample time to perform electrical work and structural changes.


The bridge closure will begin at 6:30 a.m. on the morning of Feb. 22. If weather doesn’t cooperate, the closure may last for more than a week.
