The Houma Tunnel will close from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 20-22, the state Transportation Department says.
"This closure is needed in order to allow LADOTD’s inspection personnel to perform a comprehensive inspection of the entire tunnel, which includes structural, electrical and mechanical components," the agency said in a news release Tuesday.
The department announced earlier that the tunnel would close from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Monday through Thursday for maintenance.
Alternate routes across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway include the downtown Houma twin spans and the Dularge overpass.
