The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that the left lane of I-10 eastbound from Francois Coulee Bridge to Louisiana Avenue Overpass will be closed the nights of Tuesday, April 17 through Friday, April 20, to erect the Louisiana Avenue spans.

This closure is estimated to take place from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., weather permitting.

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

DOTD apologizes for any inconvenience this necessary work may cause.

The $124.7 million I-10 widening project will involve widening a 7.11-mile section from I-49 to Breaux Bridge (State Project Number H.003003). 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.
