Bossier Parish officials have announced that Winfield Road will be closed beginning
Monday, February 23, 2026, to allow crews to perform a railroad bore to install a new
water main and replace the drainage pipe beneath the roadway.
The closure will remain in place through March 14, 2026. Detours will direct motorists as
follows:
From the east: Highway 80 → Wafer Road → Winfield Road
From the west: Bellevue Road → Winfield Road
Work crews are scheduled to begin early on February 23, and detours will remain active
throughout the project.
Parish officials say the contractor is prepared to mobilize and begin the railroad bore on
Monday, March 2. If work proceeds as scheduled and boring is completed by Friday,
March 6, crews will use the following week to backfill and replace asphalt as required by
specifications so the roadway can safely reopen to traffic.
All work timelines are weather permitting.
