Livingston Parish in cooperation with DOTD, FHWA, State of Louisiana DOA, and the Capital Region Planning Commission identified the necessary construction of a four (4) lane Boulevard from the intersection of LA Hwy 16 (Pete’s HWY) and LA Hwy 1026 (Juban Road). The primary purpose of this project is to provide an alternate route between La Hwy 16, and La Hwy 1026 for anticipated future growth and congestion relief. The existing Cook Road is a narrow 2-lane, dead end street without any additional connectivity at this time, however the Cook Road Improvements project will widen and extend this existing roadway into a four (4) lane boulevard. The roadway will be separated with a grass median including intermittent turn lane openings, subsurface drainage, and sidewalk improvements on both sides of the roadway and though the proposed roundabout at La Hwy 16. This project will also include a pair of concrete bridges crossing at Gray’s Creek as well as a large drainage installation over the crossing of Gray’s Creek tributary.
