Houma, Louisiana – Traffic flow changes are now in effect along LA Highway 24 in Houma, altering travel patterns through a busy construction corridor.
According to Louisiana State Police Troop C, the advisory was issued Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, for the stretch of roadway between LA Highway 57 (Grand Caillou Road) and Howard Avenue in Terrebonne Parish.
Officials said LA Highway 24 (East Main Street) is now one-way southbound only, while LA Highway 24 (Park Avenue) is one-way northbound only. The changes are part of ongoing road construction in the area.
State police said the temporary traffic pattern is designed to accommodate construction crews and maintain vehicle flow through the work zone. Motorists are urged to follow posted signage and use caution while traveling through the corridor.
The affected area includes key connector routes frequently used by local residents, workers, and school traffic. Drivers may experience minor delays as motorists adjust to the new one-way configuration.
Authorities did not announce how long the modified traffic flow will remain in place but said the changes will continue as construction progresses.
Commuters traveling between Grand Caillou Road and Howard Avenue are encouraged to plan alternate routes if needed and allow additional travel time during peak hours.
Louisiana State Police reminded drivers to remain alert for crews and equipment in the construction zone and to obey all posted traffic control devices.
Updates will be provided as construction milestones are reached.
