Traffic will be halted on Hwy. 84 at Jonesville and part of the town will be evacuated on Friday when the first phase of the demolition of the old Black River bridge is scheduled.
The Town of Jonesville and the Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development said traffic will be stopped around 1:20 p.m. Friday with the demolition slated for 2 p.m. Traffic could be at a standstill for up to two hours, officials say.
Additional blasts to complete the demolition are scheduled for Saturday, July 18, at 5 p.m.; Thursday, July 23, at 2 p.m.; and Saturday, July 25, at 5 p.m., according to Justin Reeves of DOTD.
