The emergency construction on West Lakeshore Drive has been completed, according to a campus wide email from LSU Parking and Transportation.
The street has been reopened with all Tiger Trails lines resuming normal operation, the email said.
The road, which is home to LSU’s sorority row, had been shut down from its intersection with Campus Drive up to the Greek parking lot entrance between the Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha Delta Pi houses.
The closure was caused by water infiltrating cracks in the asphalt, according to Tammy Millican, LSU executive director of facility and property oversight.
