UPDATE: Due to inclement weather, this closure has been rescheduled for the nights of Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., weather permitting. Thank you for your patience.

The outside lane of I-10 eastbound between mile markers 116.2 and 117.5 will be closed nightly on Tuesday, April 21 and Wednesday, April 22 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to paint the median wall.

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 September 2020.
