    My family reunion in Monroe, LA is coming up during the July 4th weekend. I usually go one of three ways. I-55 to Jackson and then I-20 into Monroe, US61 thru Natchez and then back road it through Columbia, LA, or I take I-10 to I-49 then US165 at Alexandria.

    Anyways, did they ever finish all that road construction on US165? I know they were doing a divided 4 lane the whole way and was working on it forever. Just trying to avoid especially nasty roads until I have a few more than 1700 miles on the new car :mamoru:

    Thanks!

    Edit: Geez I forgot going that way added like 45 minutes to the trip! May forget that anyways, LOL. But what the hell, what's the road report anyway?

    If you're thinking about Hwy 4 to Columbia, they have about a 2 mile section just west of Fort Necessity torn up down to bare dirt. If they get any rain out of the predicted thunderstorms, that would be a real mess. You can go around it on Hwy 135 then Old Columbia Road, but it adds about 3 miles. May want to consider another route.

    Oops, just noticed the July 4th date. They may have that fixed by then. Maybe.
