LA 347 (Grand Point Highway) north and southbound under the I-10 overpass will be closed nightly beginning Tuesday, February 26 at 8 p.m. until Saturday, March 2 at 6 a.m., weather permitting

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to pour concrete and to place deck pans between the new and exisiting girders on the overpass.

The detour for northbound traffic will be I-10 eastbound to Exit 121 – LA 3177 (Butte La Rose) and then back on I-10 westbound to Exit 115 – LA 347 or continue on I-10 westbound.

The detour for southbound traffic will be I-10 westbound to Exit 109 – LA 328 (Rees Street) in Breaux Bridge and then back on I-10 eastbound to Exit 115 – LA 347 or continue on I-10 eastbound.

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.
