Bossier City paving and the roads that shape it

The 2020 census counted 62,701 people in Bossier City, the largest city in Bossier Parish, and much of its layout follows its main roads. East Texas Street carries US-79 and US-80 along the old Dixie Overland Highway route that the Bossier Strip grew up beside. I-20 and I-220 cross the city, and LA-3, known locally as Benton Road, heads north toward the parish seat. In 2024 the city opened the Walter O. Bigby Carriageway, the northern extension of the Arthur Ray Teague Parkway, so drivers can move between north and south Bossier without waiting at the rail crossings that cut through the older streets.

Properties near the busy corridors get more turning traffic at the entrance, so the apron where a drive meets the street is often the first part to crack, rut or crumble at the edge. Most of the city is flat, but the northern limits rise into hillier ground, and a sloped drive in north Bossier may need more attention to runoff and edge support than a level one in the south.

Driveway problems we look for in Bossier City

Broken edges at the street. Asphalt repair can rebuild a worn apron when the rest of the drive is sound.
Gravel pads and side drives. A gravel-to-asphalt conversion gives them a firm surface once the stone base has been checked.
Gray, brittle surface. The National Weather Service puts Shreveport's average July high at 94.3 degrees, and long hot summers dry out the asphalt binder. Sealcoating slows that aging when the cracks are filled first.
Tired business and church lots. Parking lot paving, patching and fresh lines for lots that carry daily traffic.

Any of the services below can be booked for a Bossier City address:

Commercial lots on Airline Drive, Benton Road and the I-20 frontage

Commercial paving in Bossier City follows the traffic: Airline Drive, Benton Road, East Texas Street and the service roads beside I-20. On shopping center, church and apartment lots, cars spread their weight, but delivery trucks, garbage trucks and trailers concentrate it at the entrances, around the dumpster pad and down the main drive lane.

A walk-through separates surface wear from structural failure. Fine cracking on pavement that still feels firm usually points to an aging surface on a healthy base, and a mill-and-overlay with new parking lot striping is normally enough. Alligator cracking with soft, sunken patches means the base has given way, so those areas are cut out and rebuilt before new asphalt goes down. You get a plain answer on which case applies, even when it is the costlier one.

Do you pave driveways in both north and south Bossier City?

What does an asphalt driveway cost in Bossier City?

Our Shreveport ranges apply unchanged: replacing a driveway typically runs $4–8 per square foot, or about $3,000–7,000 for a typical drive, and sealcoating $0.15–0.30 per square foot. Prices on this page are estimates from previous work. We cannot quote an exact price. The actual cost can be lower or higher depending on the job. The person who knows is the professional who will do the work. You get a written quote after we see the property.

My driveway opens onto Benton Road. Is a permit needed?

Probably. Benton Road is LA-3, a state highway, and driveway connections to state highways in Louisiana fall under the DOTD access connection permit rules. Drives that meet city streets may have separate city requirements. The permitting office has the final say, so check before the apron work is scheduled.

Why does my driveway scuff and dent in July?

Asphalt softens as it heats, and a dark surface in full sun gets much hotter than the air around it. Tires turned in place, kickstands and trailer jacks can mark a softened mat, especially in its first summer. Care in the early weeks keeps those marks down.
