Thursday, June 20, 2019 at 1:41:00 PM
Louisiana Avenue northbound and southbound under the I-10 Overpass in Lafayette Parish will be closed nightly beginning Monday, June 24, at 8 p.m. until Saturday, June 29 at 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.
This closure is necessary for the removal of the eastbound bridge deck on the overpass.
The detour for Louisiana Avenue northbound traffic will be I-10 eastbound to LA 328 to I-10 westbound back to Louisiana Avenue northbound.
The detour for Louisiana Avenue southbound traffic will be I-10 westbound to I-49 to I-10 eastbound back to Louisiana Avenue southbound.
Emergency vehicles will not have access to the area during the closure.
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.
