Louisiana Ave Road Repairs
WHAT: Repave Louisiana Avenue
from ACP1 to Highway 467
(LA467)
WHO: DPW Engineering
WHEN: 20 Sep – 15 Nov 19
WHERE: Fort Polk
WHY: Louisiana Avenue is the
main entrance to JRTC and Fort
Polk. The pavement has base
failures and asphalt degradation.
SUMMARY: This project will require the contractor to execute base failure repairs, asphalt milling and a
new asphalt overlay. To minimize the impacts to motorists, execution will be accomplished in 4 phases.
Motorists should consider alternate routes when available and expect traffic congestion and delays.
Phase 1: Base failure repairs will require one lane closures implemented by providing flagging operations
and temporary traffic control devices for approximately four weeks. (Aggregate travel surfaces will remain)
Phase 2: Base failure repairs on the outbound lane of ACP1 requiring a closure for outbound traffic for no
longer than one week.
Phase 3: Asphalt milling and a new asphalt overlay will require closure of intersecting roads. Bell Richard,
Holmlund, Magnolia and AAFES drive will be closed at Louisiana Ave for approximately two weeks.
Phase 4: Installing new pavement markings will require flagging operations for approximately one week.

NZW Initiatives for 2020
Unfortunately, only Outreach has been funded for the 2020 Fiscal Year for Net Zero
Waste. We will still be able to support focused training to Troops, Civilians and
Families; some marketing and social media updates; and limited Office Supply ReStore
assistance.
What does this mean to the Fort Polk Community?
No Curbside Pickup:
Affects facilities like DFMWR’s CYS, ACS, FRC, Educational
Center/Library, and Wheelock Fitness Center; several BJACH facilities;
AAFES Main Express; SJA; LRC Hazmart; North Polk Elementary; and
HQ Bldg 350.
No Facility Assessments or Personnel:
Affects over 300 facilities that were visited, assessed, and provided
facility Outreach in 2019 to ensure the facilities maintain compliance.
We recommend that the Fort Polk community continue to maintain the facilities. Any
commodities collected can be turned in at the QRP recycling center. Be sure to double
check your recyclables before bringing to the QRP since we won’t have the staff
available to do this for you.
