Previous notification:
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, the outside (right) lanes of I-20 eastbound and westbound at the LA 531 overpass near Minden in Webster Parish will be closed.
These lane closures are scheduled to take place from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for one day, and are necessary to allow for construction activities related to the ongoing LA 531 overpass replacement project.
Traffic is currently flowing over the newly constructed LA 531 bridge, and the old structure has since been removed. The contractor is working on paving operations for the two roundabouts located at the interstate ramps that are included as part of the project.
The entire project is anticipated to be complete in late Summer 2025, weather and other factors permitting.

Restrictions/Permits: These inside lanes will be maintained at 16 feet wide to allow oversize loads to pass through the work zone.
Alternate Route: N/A
This work will be performed WEATHER PERMITTING.
Safety reminder:
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
