UPDATE: This closure has been rescheduled to Tuesday, August 18 at 8:00 p.m. until Wednesday, August 19 at 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.

The eastbound lanes of I-10 between mile marker 114.5 and Exit 115 - LA 347 (Henderson, Cecilia) will have nightly alternating lane closures beginning on Monday, August 17 at 8:00 p.m. until Tuesday, August 18 at 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.

These closures are necessary to allow the contractor to install the epoxy overlay on the exisitng bridges.

The roadway will be open to regular traffic with no vehicle restrictions.

Emergency vehicles will have access to the area but may encounter delays. There are no detours required.

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.
