IBERIA PARISH, La. (KPEL News) - The construction on U.S. 90 that spans across Lafayette, Iberia, and St. Mary Parishes will continue as expected into 2024 as Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development crews continue to work to make it a smoother experience for drivers.

While quite a bit of attention has been focused on the work happening on U.S. 90/Evangeline Thruway in Lafayette, driving on U.S. 90 in Iberia Parish is anything but smooth right now as current bumpy conditions and construction work makes it necessary to pay extra attention to the highway if you have to use it. When 2024 begins, expect to see that construction ramp up as DOTD workers will get busy shutting down a few of the ramps along U.S. 90 in Iberia Parish as they focus on the reconstruction of U.S. 90 WESTBOUND.
