Shreveport Youree Drive Project: Roadwork Progress & Completion Timeline

SHREVEPORT, LA - Things are a bit hectic on Youree Drive in Shreveport. The roadway is getting a complete overlay from Stoner Avenue to Southfield Road.

The cost of this project is $3.8 million. This comes from money lawmakers dedicated to each region of the state. All areas are getting $7.5 million.

Just a week ago, I left to go on vacation and nothing was being done on Youree Drive north of Kings Highway, but when I returned, crews had already removed the top layer of pavement on a couple of lanes from Stoner to East Kings. This is a clear indication that they are moving full steam ahead.

Crews are doing a complete asphalt overlay along this 3 mile stretch.
on Youree Drive from Stoner Avenue to Southfield Road, approximately 3 miles of improvements along this busy residential and commercial corridor of Shreveport.

The contractor has now finished the full-depth repairs and has started pulling up the old asphalt to get ready for the new asphalt.

This project started on February 3 and is expected to be complete by the end of June.

During this work, there will be intermittent lane closures, though as much effort as possible will be made to minimize any inconvenience to the traveling public.
