RAMP CLOSURE/INTERMITTENT LANE CLOSURES: I-20 interchange at I-49, Caddo Parish

This closure is related to a project to repair joints on the bridge decks of I-20 in Caddo, Bienville and Webster Parishes, as well as I-49 in Caddo Parish.

Additionally, intermittent nightly lane closures will begin on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at the I-20 interchange with I-49 in Shreveport, Caddo Parish.

  • I-20 westbound ramp to I-49 southbound

  • I-49 northbound ramp to I-20 eastbound
The earliest these nighttime lane closures will begin is 7:00 p.m., with all lanes open by 6:00 a.m. Daytime lane closures will be permitted on weekends. This phase is anticipated to last approximately three (3) weeks.

Subsequent phases of joint repairs will follow on other areas of the interstate, and further notices will be issued at that time.
