NIGHTTIME INTERSTATE CLOSURES: I-20 EB & WB at the LA 531 interchange, Webster Parish


The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that the following nighttime closures have been scheduled for I-20 at the LA 531 interchange near Minden in Webster Parish as part of the ongoing overpass replacement project at this location.
  • Monday, March 10, 2025, 7:00 pm – 6:00 am: I-20 eastbound and westbound
  • Tuesday, March 11, 2025, 7:00 pm – 6:00 am: I-20 eastbound and westbound
These closures are necessary to allow the contractor for this project to safely remove various overhead construction equipment associated with the newly constructed overpass.

Currently, the contractor is also working on the two roundabouts that are included in the project that will allow traffic to flow more smoothly and efficiently at the interchange ramps.

The entire project is anticipated to be complete Summer 2025, weather permitting.

Restrictions/Permits: Full road closure at the specified locations. All vehicles will need to utiliz an alternate route.

Alternate Route: Traffic will be detoured via the on and off-ramps at the LA 531 interchange.

This work will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING.
