Winfield Road Close February 23 for Water Main and Drainage Pipe Replacement
Posted: Feb 17, 2026, 2:42 PM
Bossier Parish officials have announced that Winfield Road will be closed beginning Monday, February 23, 2026, to allow crews to perform a railroad bore to install a new water main and replace the drainage pipe beneath the roadway.
The closure will remain in place through March 14, 2026. Detours will direct motorists as follows:
- From the east: Highway 80 → Wafer Road → Winfield Road
- From the west: Bellevue Road → Winfield Road
Work crews are scheduled to begin early on February 23, and detours will remain active throughout the project.
Parish officials say the contractor is prepared to mobilize and begin the railroad bore on Monday, March 2. If work proceeds as scheduled and boring is completed by Friday, March 6, crews will use the following week to backfill and replace asphalt as required by specifications so the roadway can safely reopen to traffic.
All work timelines are weather permitting.
