BOSSIER PARISH, La. — The Bossier Parish Police Jury approved a series of infrastructure projects during its April 15 meeting, including road improvements and upgrades to the water system serving the Rocky Mount area.
The Police Jury voted to award a road overlay contract to Benton and Brown LLC following a public bid process conducted earlier this month. The motion passed without objection.
The project will add new asphalt overlays to Linton Road, Parks Road, Koran–Doyline Road, and Johnson–Koran Road. Parish officials said the overlay approach is designed to extend the lifespan of existing pavement, improve driving conditions, and enhance safety without requiring full reconstruction.
Officials noted that the length of the road segments necessitated a formal bidding and contracting process.
In separate action, the Police Jury approved an agreement with the State of Louisiana to fund improvements to the East Central Bossier Water System, which serves residents in the Rocky Mount area. The project is supported through the state’s Community Water Enrichment Fund program.
Planned upgrades include the replacement of a water storage tank in Rocky Mount. Parish officials said such infrastructure is critical for maintaining consistent water pressure and ensuring reliable service during periods of high demand or emergencies.
The approved projects are part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve core infrastructure in rural areas of the parish, with a focus on transportation and water system reliability.
