The outside lane and shoulder of I-10 eastbound at mile marker 118 (Atchafalaya Basin Bridge) will be closed beginning Sunday, December 2 at 8 p.m. until Monday, December 3 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow crews to repair the eastbound guardrail at the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge.

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.
