The proposed project includes widening and infrastructure improvements to I-10 between the I-210 interchanges, including the Calcasieu River Bridge. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve system connectivity, traffic congestion, roadway and bridge deficiencies, and safety issues.

The purpose of the public meeting is to present Preliminary Build Alternative (PBA) 5-G, which was developed in response to comments received after the public meeting held in August 2017. PBA 5-G proposes a fully directional interchange at Sampson Street in Westlake. Details of this PBA will be exhibited along with previously presented PBAs 1-4. Public comments on PBA 5-G and the other proposed PBAs, the alternatives screening process, and the reasonable alternatives recommended for detailed evaluation in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be accepted at the meeting.

Persons interested in the proposed project are invited to attend the meeting in person to review the informational materials and comment on the information presented. The meeting will be held in an open-house format and a slide presentation will be repeated continuously between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Project team members will be available to explain the exhibits and answer questions.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, you may attend a virtual public meeting by visiting the project website at https://www.i10lakecharles.com. The presentation and other informational materials will be available for viewing at the virtual meeting site from April 18 until May 5, 2019.
