These closures will allow vehicles 11-feet wide or less to pass through the construction zone.
 

I-10 Westbound will be open for regular traffic but oversize vehicles must detour using Exit 187 (US-61 North / Sorrento).  Diverted traffic will be able to reach I-10 by traveling north along US-61, exiting onto I-12 Westbound and traveling west along I-12 until reaching I-10.
 

I-10 Eastbound will be open for regular traffic but oversize vehicles traveling east on I-10 must detour to I-12 at the 10/12 split, travel east along I-12, and use Exit 2A (US-61 South / Airline Hwy).  Oversize vehicles traveling west on I-12 must detour using Exit 2A (US-61 South / Airline Hwy).  Diverted traffic will be able to reach I-10 by traveling south along US-61 until reaching the I-10 on-ramp near Sorrento.
 

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and to be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.
