SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - On the morning of Saturday, May 8, city crews will be repairing one of the larger sewer force mains in Shreveport.
The repairs are expected to take between 12 and 24 hours to complete. During the repairs, the southbound lanes of East Kings Highway from East Bert Kouns Industrial Loop to the 7800 block of East Kings Highway will be closed. Northbound lanes on East Kings Highway will remain open.
The force main is currently leaking and further degradation could lead to significant and uncontrolled sewage release. The sewage will be temporarily diverted at the Stoner Lift Station into the Red River which will allow the city to make repairs.
