PONCHATOULA—The next phase of the North Hoover Road widening project will begin this Tuesday, January 6.
Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller said Arbour Construction has been awarded the $1.367 million project which will create a wider two-lane roadway from Thorn Lane to just south of Wild Oak Lane.
Funded through the state Capital Outlay program, this phase of the North Hoover Road widening project is expected take approximately 240 calendar days to complete. Miller said crews will utilize one lane closure operations the majority of the time; however, there may be instances when full road closures will be necessary to expedite the project.
“We encourage residents in the area to stay tuned for updates as work progresses on this project,” Miller said.
Officials remind the public that North Hoover Road is a “no truck route;” therefore, big trucks will not be allowed to travel in the construction zone, as lanes will be narrow while the widening project is underway.
“We encourage motorists to use alternate routes if at all possible during construction,” Miller said, adding that crews will be actively working in the roadway during this time, and motorists are urged to use extreme caution traveling in the work zones.
