PROJECT UPDATE: I-20 major rehabilitation project, Bossier Parish
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that the I-20 major rehabilitation project in Bossier City is preparing to enter the initial transition into Phase 3 for the westbound direction.
Beginning on the night of Monday, November 11, 2024, there will be full nightly closures of I-20 westbound from I-220 to the Airline Drive interchange. All of the ramps at Airline Drive will not be impacted and will remain open to traffic.
These nightly closures will take place over the course of five nights from approximately 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in order to allow the contractor to safely perform work in preparation to move the concrete barriers that separate the lanes.
On Saturday, November 16, 2024, traffic will be shifted to the new travel lanes on I-20 westbound from I-220 to Airline Drive. The remainder of the shift from Airline Drive to Hamilton Road will occur in the coming weeks.
As a reminder, the partial shift for the eastbound direction took place in late October 2024, beginning at the Industrial Drive interchange. That process will also be ongoing over the next several weeks to fully complete that shift.
The I-20 project webpage provides a variety of resources and updates as work progresses. To access that page, click here.
Alternate route: Westbound traffic will be diverted to I-220 during the nightly closures.
