In light of the city of Lake Charles’ upcoming intersection closures and detours associated with the West Prien Lake Road Widening Project, the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury wants to advise residents that no changes are being made to Prien Lake Park’s operations at this time.

Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 6, the intersection of West Prien Lake Road and Sale Road will be closed to all traffic, which will affect traffic on both thoroughfares. The closure is part of the city of Lake Charles’ West Prien Lake Road Widening Project and will include drainage, sewer and concrete work. It is expected to last until mid-December, weather permitting.

Drivers are urged to use extra caution when driving in the park.
