Natchitoches – Beginning Monday, March 23, 2026, Washington Street, which is State Highway 6 Business Route, will be closed to all traffic from the intersection of Texas Street to the intersection of Lafayette Street due to necessary sewer repairs.

This closure will remain in effect until such time as the repairs have been completed.

Through traffic will be detoured around the work area via the LA-6 North Bypass, LA-1, and the LA-1 Business Route, which consists of portions of Texas Street, Third Street, and Church Street.  Local traffic may utilize a number of alternate City streets to detour around the work site.
