roundabout

Drivers in Louisiana need to keep all eyes on the roads these days because some are ignoring the signs.

Roundabouts are extremely useful, but when you run into them, they don't look pretty.

Two new roundabouts are coming to rural intersections just outside Lafayette Parish in south Louisiana. The first is in Iberia Parish, another in Acadia Parish.

If you travel Dulles Dr to Rue De Belier in Lafayette/Scott you've noticed that the roundabout in that area is partially open.

The roundabouts will be built on either side of Highway 90 at its intersection with Louisiana Highway 88 (Coteau Road).

You are asked to remain patient and aware during the construction phase of the roundabout as crews are expected to be on-site from 7am - 5pm, Monday - Friday.

Officials with the City of Scott said that to properly stripe the detour road, conditions must be dry.

According to Scott Mayor Jan-Scott Richard, this project is expected to take eight months, weather permitting, and the completion date is projected for April 16, 2023.

Lafayette Police responded to a major crash on Monday night involving a motorcycle that flipped over a roundabout.

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it's time to head out for a tour of the holiday decorations around Acadiana. Youngsville has the perfect tour!

When anyone tells you that roundabouts don't work, show them these statistics and then offer to teach them how to use a roundabout properly.

A traffic shift on the section of Kaliste Saloom Road where it is being widened to five lanes will begin on Monday, July 13 at 9:00 a.m. as construction crews complete the final phase of the roundabout at E. Broussard and Kaliste Saloom Roads.

A ribbon cutting will be held at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Let's Make Acadiana Even Better

Another roundabout has been proposed for the city of Lafayette, this one will cost about $1.5 million to complete.
