Contractor in default, La. 13-Maple Ave. work, detour on hold

The contractor for installation of the cross drain replacement on La. 13 at Maple Avenue has been placed in default and DOTD is working on what to do next.
According to Deidra Druilhet, with DOTD’s district office in Lafayette, Hamp’s Construction, LLC of New Orleans was placed in default last week.
She said DOTD is working with Hamp’s Construction’s bonding agency on how to move forward with the project.
Original schedules called for the work to require most of the month of September, with detours around the La. 13-Maple Ave. intersection necessary. Detours were never imposed.
