PONCHATOULA — This week’s showers have delayed this weekend’s plans to reopen North Hoover Road.
Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller says a series of afternoon showers this week halted asphalt work on a portion of North Hoover Road between Thorn Lane and Wild Oak.
“Crews have assured us that if the weather cooperates, we will be able to reopen the roadway by Saturday, April 11,” Miller said.
Crews have been working on patching and paving operations in this section of North Hoover. Under this revised schedule, the contractor plans to also perform necessary striping work prior to reopening the roadway next week.
“Our expectation is that all work associated with this project will be complete when North Hoover Road reopens next week—a full three months ahead of schedule,” Miller said.
