Work is steadily moving ahead on the northern section of the parish's north-south roadway that will eventually connect I-220 at Swan Lake Rd. with LA Hwy. 162 via Crouch Rd. Completion of the extension from Swan Lake Rd. at the Flat River bridge to Crouch Rd. is expected to take two years.

Contractors for the Bossier Parish Police Jury have taken advantage of good weather to advance the project. Workers are currently leveling what will be the base of the road.
