Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at 9:46:38 AM
The on ramp of I-10 eastbound at I-49 will be closed Wednesday, February 24 at 8:00 p.m. until Thursday, February 25 at 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.
This closure is necessary to allow crews to prepare the roadway for asphalt operations.
The detour for traffic will be to utilize the interchange clover leaf ramps by taking Exit 1B (I-10 westbound on ramp), Exit 103A (US 167 South exit ramp), and I-10 Eastbound via Exit 1A.
Emergency vehicles will not have access to the area.
The $124.7 million I-10 widening project will involve widening a 7.11-mile section from I-49 to Breaux Bridge (State Project Number H.003003). The project will include pavement replacement within the existing lanes and the construction of one additional lane in each direction along I-10 from I-49 to LA 328 (Breaux Bridge).
The project began in May 2017 and is estimated for completion in May 2021.
