Two Major Bridge Replacement Projects Begin in January

Two major bridge projects will begin in the Amite and Loranger areas in January.

Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller said the Tyner Creek Bridge on LA 1054 southeast of Amite will be closed starting Monday, January 12, 2026, for a Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) bridge replacement project.

Miller said there will be a complete road closure at the site of the bridge project, which is located on LA 1054 at a site approximately 2.11 miles south of LA 16 or 4.4 miles north of LA 40. The closure will begin at 6 a.m. on January 12, and the roadway is expected to remain closed until September 30, weather permitting.

Detours are posted.

Then, at the end of the month, DOTD’s newly created Office of Louisiana Highway Construction (OLHC) will launch its first project, a full bridge replacement over Morgan Branch on LA 1062 between North Firetower Road and Caboose Lane. Miller said the roadway will close to all thru-traffic starting on Thursday, Jan. 29, and remain closed through Friday, October 30, weather permitting.

Detours will be posted.

Miller said these are two critical bridge replacement projects for the mid parish area.

“We are incredibly grateful for the state stepping in and helping to complete these infrastructure improvements for our residents,” Miller said.
