LORANGER—Although the Independence Day holiday will mean a short week, Tangipahoa Parish road crews will be working an ambitious schedule after the 4th of July.
Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller said Phase 2023 road work is heating up, with a number of projects planned during the upcoming week:
- Paving: McManus, West Lee Hughes, Northwood Crossing, Oak Meadows, Martino, Iverstine, Burton, Iever, Cherie, College, Wellington Drive, Happywoods, Kay Drive, Corbin Road, Pisciotta Place, and Magee Street;
- Milling: 2nd Avenue, South Magnolia Street, East Dickens Road, Jolane, Schafer Drive, Lynwood, Hickory Drive, Twin Lakes Boulevard;

- Dressing: West Cutrer Road, Brock Road, Cutrer Road, Mandela Road, Pine Street, Wilson, East 8th Street, East Alessi, Catfish Farm Road, Straughan Nursery Road, and Chappapeela Road.
In reference to the ongoing Hoover Road/Sisters Road roundabout being constructed in the Ponchatoula area, motorists can expect two single-day road closures on Sisters Road this week. On Wednesday, July 5, crews will install a cross drain on Sisters Road approximately 200 feet west of the Hoover Road/Sisters Road intersection. The work is expected to begin at 6 a.m. and will be completed by 6 p.m. that day. On Thursday, July 6, crews will work on the east side of Sisters Road at a site located approximately 300 feet east of the intersection with Hoover Road. That cross drain project is also expected to be completed between the hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All work is weather-permitting. Miller asks motorists to continue to use caution in work zones.
