UPDATE: Due to weather delays, this closure has been extended to Friday, August 2 at 11 p.m. until Saturday, August 3 at

5 a.m., weather permitting.

The eastbound on and off ramps of I-10 at Louisiana Avenue will be closed Thursday, August 1 at 11 p.m. until Friday, August 2 at 5 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary for the upcoming I-10 eastbound traffic swap.

The detour route for Louisiana Avenue northbound and southbound traffic attempting to

get on I-10 eastbound will be detoured to I-10 westbound to I-49 back to I-10 eastbound.

The detour route for I-10 eastbound traffic attempting to exit at Louisiana Avenue will be detoured to LA 328 (Breaux Bridge) to I-10 westbound back to Louisiana Avenue.

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 April 2020.
