The inside lane and shoulder of I-10 eastbound from mile marker 117 to 117.5 will be closed on the nights of Monday, July 16 and Tuesday, July 17, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., to allow crews to restripe the interstate and move barriers, weather permitting.

This work is related to the FASTLANE I-10 widening project (State Project Number H.003014). This $54.7 million project will involve pavement replacement within the existing 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.
