Friday, August 04, 2017 at 1:25:44 PM
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that on Sunday, August 6, LA 328 under the I-10 bridge, will be closed for girder removal.
The closure is estimated to take place from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.
Additionally, beginning Monday, August 7 until Friday, August 11, the westbound and eastbound left lanes of I-10 at Louisiana Avenue Overpass will be closed for the removal of concrete barrier rails and hydro demolition.
The closure is estimated to take place nightly from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.
The detour route for northbound and southbound traffic on Louisiana Avenue is as follows:
Northbound: Take I-10 eastbound to LA 328, then back to I-10 westbound to continue north on Louisiana Avenue.
Southbound: Take I-10 westbound to I-49, then back to I-10 eastbound to Louisiana Avenue to continue south.
DOTD apologizes for any inconvenience to the traveling public and encourages motorists to lookout for crews and their equipment.
The $124.7 million I-10 widening project will involve widening a 7.11-mile section from I-49 to Breaux Bridge. The project will include pavement replacement within the existing lanes and the construction of one additional lane in each direction along I-10 from I-49 to La 328 (Breaux Bridge).
The project began in May 2017 and is estimated for completion in fall 2019.
