BATON ROUGE — Due to recent flooding in several Louisiana cities, customers in Denham Springs, LA (70706) were directed to pick up their mail at a nearby alternate facility, the Baton Rouge Mail Processing Plant, located at 8101 Bluebonnet Road.

As conditions improve, the Postal Service is restoring mail delivery wherever roads are accessible.  Customers in Denham Springs who live in locations passable for vehicles should be receiving mail delivery now.

Customers who have a P.O. Box at the Denham Springs Post Office should continue to pick up their mail at the alternate site.  Customers can pick up their mail with proper identification.  Retail services are now available at our mobile retail van, which is currently deployed at the Denham Springs P.O., located at 140 Del Orleans, Monday-Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The mobile unit will ONLY sell stamps and provide other services, including Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail and First through Fourth-Class postage. The unit will not be handing out customer mail. Mail must be retrieved at the location at 8101 Bluebonnet Road.

As water recedes in the impacted areas and conditions improve, both mail delivery and retail services will be restored at the Denham Springs Post Office.
