I-10 westbound between mile markers 104 (Louisiana Avenue) and 103 will have nightly inside lane closures on Tuesday, September 17 and Wednesday, September 18 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to construct asphalt wedges for the upcoming I-10 westbound traffic swap.

Emergency vehicles will not be able to pass through this lane closure because there is no shoulder on either side of the roadway.

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.
