UPDATE: THIS CLOSURE HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL SATURDAY, APRIL 27 AT 6 A.M., WEATHER PERMITTING.

The right lane on I-10 westbound from mile marker 109 to mile marker 108 (LA 328 off-ramp to Bayou Teche), will be closed nightly beginning Tuesday, April 23 at 8 p.m. until Friday, April 26 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to erect girders.

The $124.7 million I-10 widening project will involve widening a 7.11-mile section from I-49 to Breaux Bridge (State Project Number H.003003). The project will include pavement replacement within the existing lanes and the construction of one additional lane in each direction along I-10 from I-49 to LA 328 (Breaux Bridge).

The project began in May 2017 and is estimated for completion in fall 2019.
