SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER CITY – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that additional ramp adjustments have been made as the ongoing Jimmie Davis Bridge replacement project over the Red River shifts into Phase 3 of construction.

The Clyde Fant Parkway soutbound exit ramp to LA 511 (70th Street) westbound has been reopened to traffic after being previously closed to allow for new roadway construction.

Currently, exit ramps to both LA 511 westbound and eastbound from Clyde Fant Parkway southbound are open to traffic.

The LA 511 westbound exit ramp to the Clyde Fant Parkway northbound is now closed to allow for continued construction on the ramps for the new bridge. Clyde Fant Parkway northbound can be accessed via LA 511 through the use of a temporary traffic signal (see attached detour map).

This ramp closure is anticipated to be in place until August 2026, weather permitting.

As a reminder, traffic has been swapped onto the newly-constructed pavement on both the Shreveport and Bossier City sides of the existing bridge. Due to changing traffic conditions, it is critical that drivers eliminate distractions and play close attention to shifting lanes and detour signage.
