One of the main routes to avoid University in the afternoon to and from Carencro will close in the upcoming week. The Public Works Department announced that Mills Street, approximately 50-feet north of Rue Scholastique, is scheduled to be closed starting Monday, February 3, 2020, until Friday, February 7, 2020. The closure is necessary for the installation of drainage infrastructure. Detour routes and local access will be maintained.
This drainage project should help alleviate some of the flooding concerns on Mills during periods of heavy rainfall.
