BENTON, La. -- Caplis - Sligo Road Bridge over Red Chute Bayou is now open to traffic.

The bridge, owned by the Bossier Parish Police Jury, was closed on July 4, 2024 after a Bossier sheriff’s deputy reported a buckle in the structure.

Contractors began work in August 2024 to remove and replace the bridge, and the project has now been completed ahead of schedule. All roadway striping is finished, and all construction signage has been removed, restoring normal traffic flow.

The new structure is designed to improve safety and reliability for years to come.
