The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that beginning Wednesday, November 22, at 7:00 p.m. until Monday, November 27 at 6:00 a.m., all lanes on I-10 (LA 347 to Atchafalaya Basin Bridge) in St. Martin Parish will be OPEN during the Thanksgiving holiday. No construction work will be performed during this time.

DOTD reminds motorists to practice extra caution when traveling on the roadways during the holiday season.

This work is related to the FASTLANE I-10 widening project (State Project No. H.003014). This $54.7 million project will involve pavement replacement within the existing the lanes in each direction for 2.7 miles along I-10 from LA 347 to the base of the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge. An additional lane will be added in the westbound direction.

With the help of the FASTLANE grant, this is the second of three projects to reconstruct and widen the I-10 corridor from I-49 to the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge.

The project began in July 2017 and is estimated for completion in 2020.
