The suspension started on Wednesday, Oct. 1, and no reopening date has been provided. USPS said updates will be relayed when more information is available.

"The safety and well-being of our customers and our employees is a priority to the U.S. Postal Service. We appreciate your patience as we work to resume regular operations as quickly as possible," USPS said in a Thursday release.

A spokesperson told Louisiana First News that the closure is due to construction in the building.
