Expect Traffic Delays on Hwy 124 and Hwy 84

Motorists are advised to expect delays in two areas due to seasonal activity and construction work.

On Highway 124 near Trinity Bridge, traffic is currently backed up as harvest season brings an increase in large trucks traveling the route.
Drivers should anticipate slow-moving traffic and exercise caution when approaching and passing farm equipment.

On Highway 84 at the Black River Bridge, traffic has been reduced to one lane. The left lane is closed for road construction, and flaggers or temporary signals are directing vehicles through the work zone.

The public is encouraged to allow additional travel time, remain alert, and obey all posted signs and directions from traffic control personnel.

The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission has approved a Notice of Intent to expand the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Control Area in northeast-central Louisiana.

The action is intended to replace the current Declaration of Emergency (DE) in place for the described area in an effort to curb the spread of the always fatal deer disease.

📍 The NOI add portions of 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗮, 𝗟𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲, 𝗢𝘂𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗮 & 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀. All of Tensas Parish and portions of Madison, Franklin and Concordia parishes were already included in an existing CWD Control Area. The CWD Control Area will be expanded in Franklin and Concordia parishes. Portions of 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 will also expand.

📍 This follows the first confirmed CWD-positive wild deer outside of Tensas Parish, discovered in a buck harvested on private land in Catahoula Parish earlier this year. The Catahoula Parish positive brings the total number of CWD detections for Louisiana to 40.

The approved rules include supplemental feeding and 𝗯𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 within the expanded CWD Control Area.

📅 If approved following legislative oversight, the rule could take effect as early as Sept. 20 and will replace the current Declaration of Emergency.
