I-220/I-20 Interchange Improvement and BAFB Access
State Project No. H.003370
Bossier Parish, Louisiana

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) and the Federal Highway Administration (FWHA) are nearing completion of the concept engineering and environmental process for proposed improvements to the I-220/I-20 interchange and addition of a Barksdale Air Force Base (BAFB) access road, in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. A public meeting is being held by the LA DOTD in partnership with the City of Bossier, Bossier Parish, Northwest Louisiana Council of Governments (NLCOG) and BAFB as co-sponsors to update the public on the status of the project and present preliminary design features of the project concept.

The public meeting will be:

Monday, November 5, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the
Bossier Civic Center,
Bodcau Room,
620 Benton Road,
Bossier City, LA 71111.

The purpose of the proposed improvements is to enhance the operational characteristics and capacity of the interchange in conjunction with the development of a direct access roadway to BAFB. The proposed project improvements address continuity of access to the interchange for BAFB, operational improvements for vehicular access to BAFB and reduction in congestion at the existing BAFB access points. The length of the proposed project is approximately 1.1 miles from north of I-20 to south of the KCS Railroad. The project concept will include constructing new roadways, bridges, signs and lighting, and modifying existing roadways. Aesthetic design features will be given consideration relative to the surrounding area.

This will be an “open house” style meeting with no formal presentations. The public is invited to visit anytime during the scheduled hours to view exhibits, ask questions, and offer comments.
