I-10 Major Traffic Detour at Orange, Texas

The Texas Department of Transportation will detour all I-10 traffic at Orange, Texas beginning 7:00 p.m. March 31 until 7:00 a.m. April 3, 2017. I-10 westbound traffic in Louisiana traveling into Texas may be delayed during the detour.

TxDOT announced that I-10 westbound traffic will be down to one lane during this time. All I-10 eastbound traffic will be detoured to the frontage road at the SH 87 exit and re-enter the interstate just past N 8th Street. In addition to the main lane closures, SH 87 at I-10 will be closed during this period.

The closure is necessary for the construction of the new SH 87 overpass currently being built as part of the I-10 reconstruction project from Adams Bayou to the Sabine River.
