DOTD is proud to be named the Outstanding State Agency for Love the Boot Week 2026! Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and our hardworking crews, our state highways are looking a whole lot cleaner.

But the work doesn't stop when the cleanup week ends.

Litter costs millions to clean up, damages our beautiful environment, and creates dangerous hazards on our roads.
The solution is simple: Do your part and don't litter. 🚯

📸Before & After

Our crews spent the last few days clearing out trash and debris at the Calliope corridor under the Crescent City Connection bridge in New Orleans. 🗑✨

But we didn't do it alone! A huge thank you to the The City Of NOLA, who was on-site and working right alongside us to get the job done. Together, we’re keeping our streets clean and safe.

Do your part to keep our roads safe:

🟠Slow down the moment you see orange.
📵Put the phone away—distractions are deadly.
🚗Keep a safe following distance.

That work zone isn’t just construction – it’s someone’s workplace. And someone’s family is counting on them to come home. Slow down. Stay alert.
Responsibility travels with you. ONE ROAD.
