DOTD announces project to re-stripe I-20 in Webster & Bienville Parishes
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces a project to replace all the roadway striping and pavement markings on I-20 in Bienville and Webster Parishes.
The $385,305 project stretches from LA 154 (Exit 61) at Gibsland in Bienville Parish to US 371 (Exit 44) at Dixie Inn in Webster Parish. The project includes removing old striping and replacing with new roadway striping and reflectorized pavement markings.
Work is being conducted only at night to minimize the impact to the traveling public along the 13 mile section of interstate, and involves a slow-moving striping operation.
Pavement markings are used to convey messages to roadway users. They indicate which part of the road to use, provide information about conditions ahead, and indicate where passing is allowed.
Pavement markings provide continuous information to motorists related to roadway alignment, vehicle positioning, and other important driving-related tasks.
The entire project should wrap up in late Summer/early Fall 2025, with progress dependent on weather conditions and other factors.
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.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
