Original notification:

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Monday, September 23, 2024, there will be brief, intermittent lane closures on various bridges along the I-20 corridor in Bossier, Webster, and Bienville Parishes for the purpose of deck assessment inspections.

A consultant will be performing the deck assessments, beginning in Bienville Parish, and moving westward through Webster and Bossier Parishes (not to continue through the ongoing construction project on I-20). They will spend a brief amount of time via a slow-moving operation on each bridge.

These intermittent lane closures are scheduled to take place through Friday, October 4, 2024.

There will be no total bridge closures as part of these inspections, and the impact to traffic is anticipated to be minimal.

Motorists should travel with caution and be on the lookout for inspection crews and equipment.

Restrictions/Permits: N/A

Alternate Route: N/A

This work will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING.

Safety reminder:

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
