I-10 Westbound & On and Off Ramps of I-10 Westbound at LA 347, St. Martin Parish, Lane & Ramp Closures
Wednesday, July 24, 2019 at 3:02:20 PM
The outside lane of I-10 westbound, east of the intersection with LA 347, will be closed between mile markers 117 and 115 beginning Saturday, July 27 at 8 p.m. until Sunday, July 28 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

Additionally, the westbound on and off ramps of I-10 at LA 347 (Henderson/Cecilia) will be closed beginning Saturday, July 27 at 8 p.m. until Sunday, July 28 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

The detour for the westbound on and off ramps of LA 347 (Henderson/Cecilia):

  • Westbound traffic on I-10 wanting to exit on Exit 115 - LA 347 (Henderson/Cecilia) will continue on I-10 westbound to Exit 109 - LA 328 (Breaux Bridge) then back on I-10 eastbound to Exit 115 - LA 347 (Henderson/Cecilia).
  • Northbound and southbound traffic on LA 347 wanting to go west on I-10 will take I-10 eastbound to Exit 121 - LA 3177 (Butte La Rose) and then back on I-10 westbound toward Exit 109 - LA 328 (Breaux Bridge).
These closures are necessary to allow the contractor to complete the traffic swap on I-10 westbound.

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.

The project began in July 2017 and is estimated for completion in 2020.
