The outside lane and shoulder of I-10 westbound between LA 3177 (Butte La Rose) and LA 328 (Breaux Bridge) will be closed beginning Monday, December 10 at 8 p.m. until Tuesday, December 11 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to rebuild the shoulders on the on and off ramps on the westbound I-10/LA 347 interchange.

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.
