The outside lane of I-10 westbound between mile marker 116 and Exit 115 – LA 347 (Henderson, Cecilia) will be closed to traffic on Thursday, November 7 at 8 p.m. until Friday, November 8 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to make guardrail repairs.

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.
