BATON ROUGE — A portion of Perkins Road will be closed for several weeks starting Wednesday.

The closure, between Kleinert and Terrace avenues on Perkins, is being done to allow for power pole replacement. 

The closure starts Wednesday at 8 a.m. and will last through Oct. 9 at 4 p.m.

A detour will be available by taking Kleinert Avenue to Camelia Avenue before going onto Terrace Avenue.
