LAFAYETTE PARISH, La. (KLFY) -- A $10 million project to extend Louisiana Avenue in Lafayette Parish is complete, promising to improve traffic flow and safety in North Lafayette.

Officials with Lafayette Consolidated Government celebrated the opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

After years of planning and construction, drivers in north Lafayette will now have a smoother and faster way to get around. City leaders say the first contract for the Louisiana Avenue extension was signed back in 1991, but it is now coming to fruition.

The project aims to help drivers reach their destination by extending Louisiana Avenue east of the intersection at Moss Street and Gloria Switch Road.
