UPDATE: Due to the anticipated weather this closure has been rescheduled to begin Tuesday, December 17 at 8 p.m. until Wednesday, December 18 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

The outside lane of I-10 westbound between mile marker 118 and mile marker 117 (west end of the westbound Atchafalaya Floodway Basin Bridge) will be closed to traffic on Monday, December 16 at 8:00 p.m. until Tuesday, December 17, at 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to perform roadway construction work.

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.
