UPDATE: I-20 at LA 531 interchange, Webster Parish


(UPDATE 8/14/2024): DOTD advises motorists that the intermittent lane closures will no longer take place as described below in the original notification. Instead, the contractor will utilize the ramps at the LA 531 interchange on the night of Friday, August 16, 2024 in order to conduct closures on I-20 and maintain traffic flow.

Drivers will be routed to the on and off-ramps to allow the contractor to mobilize equipment and safely perform overhead construction work on the new LA 531 overpass over I-20.

No daytime lane closures will occur on August 16th. We appreciate your patience as this work is conducted.
