A temporary levee wall will be installed in the northbound lane of Nutland Rd. between Oregon Trail on the south and Nevada Dr. on the north in South Monroe.

Due to increased water levels of Young’s Bayou and forecast for more rain in the watershed, the Public Works Department made a decision to install a temporary levee wall to prevent heavy flooding. 

Nutland Rd. will be closed to all traffic from the north driveway of the Martin Luther King Junior High School to Oregon Trail. The roadway will only have one-lane of southbound traffic open from Oregon Trail to Hadley St.
