- Description:
--- From: 2025-05-27 To: 2025-06-10 --- Machinery gear couplings on the LA 308 Drawbridge across Bayou Lafourche, Mile 38.7, near Larose, LA, will be inspected and repaired, if necessary. Inspections will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., daily. During these times, the draw need not open for boats. Following the inspection each day, and provided no repairs are necessary, the draw will open on signal beginning at 5:00 p.m. and ending at 7:00 a.m., the following morning. On any day, if a defective gear coupling is discovered and needs to be replaced, the draw will immediately be placed in the open-to-boat position. The draw will remain in the open-to-boat position until all parts and supplies to replace the coupling arrive at the bridge. The draw will then be set in the closed-to-boat position until repairs or replacement are completed. Repairs and the bridge closure could take place for up to 48 consecutive hours. After the coupling has been repaired or replaced, the draw will open to boats on signal for a continuous period of 48-hours. Inspections will then resume after the 48-hour opening period. If no gear couplings require repairs, the project will end at 5:00 p.m., on June 10, 2025. Mariners should contact the bridge tender to obtain the status of the bridge.
