Traffic shift to occur on I-210 Prien Lake Bridge - Calcasieu Parish
I-210 Prien Lake Bridge traffic will shift to the eastbound bridge beginning this evening. Traffic will be one lane in each direction on the eastbound bridge with the exception of additional nighttime closures Monday through Thursday.
The traffic shift allows construction to begin on the westbound bridge. Work on the westbound bridge will replace 930 feet of the bridge’s surface, retrofit new guardrails, and continue installing the inspection walkway under the main span. The westbound bridge will remain closed for the duration of this phase.
The alternate routes for passenger vehicles and trucks 25 tons and less are I-10, LA 12 and US 190. LA 12 and US 190 can be accessed via LA 109, LA 27, US 171, or US 165. For trucks greater than 25 tons the alternate routes are I-10, US 190 and LA 12. US 190 and LA 12 can be accessed from the east via US 165 and US 171. Vehicles over 11 feet wide may not travel through the work zone.
