LA 347 (Grand Point Highway) northbound and southbound under the I-10 Overpass, St. Martin Parish, Road Closure
Friday, May 03, 2019 at 8:29:39 AM
LA 347 (Grand Point Highway) northbound and southbound under the I-10 overpass will be closed Monday, May 6, at 11:00 p.m. until Tuesday, May 7, at 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.
This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to disassemble the formwork and finish the concrete deck over LA 347.
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.
