When Bonin Road Will Be Closed

Lafayette Consolidated Government says the 900 block of Bonin Road will be closed to vehicular traffic beginning Tuesday, January 20, 2026, through Friday, January 23, 2026.

Why the Closure Is Needed

Drainage crews will be performing cross drain repairs under the roadway across Bonin Road. A recent routine inspection of drainage crossings revealed that the existing corrugated metal x-drain required replacement.

Crews will install a new concrete pipe that is the correct size and extend the drain to restore the road shoulder. This should improve safety for drivers and is being completed ahead of future road resurfacing.
