LA 347 (Grand Point Highway) northbound and southbound under the I-10 overpass in Henderson will be closed on Tuesday, August 21 from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to place concrete deck overhead on the new I-10 overpass extension.

The northbound traffic will be detoured to I-10 eastbound to LA 3177 (Atchafalaya River Highway) in Butte La Rose to I-10 westbound to LA 347 northbound.

The southbound traffic will be detoured to I-10 westbound to LA 328 (Rees Street) in Breaux Bridge to I-10 eastbound to LA 347 southbound.

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

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.
