 Baton Rouge is the capital and the largest city of Louisiana, a state of the United States of America. Historically, Baton Rouge has been the second largest city in Louisiana behind New Orleans, but as of mid-2005, the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Katrina have, at least temporarily, reduced the population of New Orleans such that Baton Rouge is currently the largest city in Louisiana.

South Harrell Ferry Road to Close for 90 Days |
For Immediate Release
Release Date: 05/17/2010
South Harrell’s Ferry Road to Close for 90 Days Between Jones Creek Road and O’Neal Lane
Beginning Monday, May 24, 2010 at 12 a.m., workers plan to close South Harrell’s Ferry Road between Jones Creek Road and O’Neal Lane for 90 days as part of a Green Light Plan project to widen the roadway.
The closure is necessary for the installation of the embankment, new box culverts for the roadway crossings at Knox Branch and to complete utility upgrades being completed by Shell Pipeline. Plans call for the road to reopen to the traveling public on Saturday, Aug. 21, weather permitting.
Motorists should plan to use Jones Creek Road, George O’Neal Lane and O’Neal Lane as detours during the planned 90 day closure (see map in attachment). Access to South Harrell’s Ferry Road from Lirocchi Drive and Manchester Drive will also be closed during that period with a detour to O’Neal Lane available to motorists.
Message signs warning of the closure will be posted near South Harrell’s Ferry Road and motorists should exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity. Travel times may be affected, and motorists are encouraged to factor in potential delays when traveling in the area during the road closure.
Work began last September to widen that stretch of South Harrell’s Ferry Road as part of the Green Light Plan to relieve congestion on major traffic arteries in East Baton Rouge Parish. The project will add two additional through lanes, sidewalks and a raised median to South Harrell’s Ferry Road from a point 1,100-feet east of Millerville Road to O’Neal Lane.
