LANE CLOSURES: I-20 EB and WB at Tarbutton Rd between Mile Marker 83 and 84 in Lincoln Parish
Friday, September 27, 2019 at 10:52:58 AM
UPDATE: THE OLD TARBUTTON BRIDGE HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THE LANE CLOSURES FOR THIS REMOVAL ARE NO LONGER NEEDED AT THIS TIME.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that beginning on Monday night, September 23, 2019, and continuing until further notice, expect nightly lane closures on I-20 eastbound and westbound at the Tarbutton Road overpass located between Mile Marker 83 and Mile Marker 84 in Ruston, Lincoln Parish. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, diverted onto the newly constructed ramps, then back onto I-20. The lane closures and diversions will be in both the eastbound and westbound directions during this time frame.
These lane closures are necessary to allow for the removal of the old Tarbutton Road Bridge over I-20.
This work will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING and only at night.
