Houma Tunnel to close for maintenance part of next week
The Courier and Daily Comet
Alternate routes across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway include the downtown Houma twin spans and the Dularge overpass. Due to this inconvenience the Houma Police Department will have officers or traffic direction signs posted at certain locations in the area that are prone to traffic congestion, Houma Police said today.

We would like to ask for everyone to be patient and follow the directions of the officers and signs at these locations.
