Bossier Parish Announces $1.6 Million Road Overlay Project to Improve Local Roads

The Bossier Parish Police Jury is moving forward with a $1.6 million road improvement project that will bring smoother, safer travel to several roads across the parish.

Work is expected to begin next week on May 11, with crews starting in the northern part of parish and gradually working their way south. The project will include asphalt overlay on key routes, helping extend the life of existing roadways and improving everyday driving conditions for residents.

“This is exactly the kind of investment our residents expect from us depend on every single day,” said Police Jury President Tom Salzer. “We’re proud to move this project forward and continue improving transportation that makes a real difference in the quality of life across Bossier Parish.”

During construction, drivers can expect alternating lane closures as crews work to complete the project safely and efficiently. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, stay alert, and be prepared to encounter workers and equipment in multiple locations as the project progresses. Residents are encouraged to plan for minor delays and allow extra travel time while work is underway.

Roads Included in the Project:

• Linton Cutoff Road – from Cypress Forest north toward Highway 162
• Parks Road – from S. Lakeshore Drive to Crouch Road
• Johnson Koran Road – approximately 1 mile north of Highway 527
• Koran Doyline Road – from Highway 527 to the parish line

“Investing in infrastructure is investing in our future,” added Parish Administrator Ken Ward. “Projects like this help keep Bossier Parish moving forward.”
