NIGHTTIME RAMP CLOSURE: I-20 westbound at Common/Line Ave (Exit 18D), Caddo Parish


The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that on the night of Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the I-20 westbound off-ramp to Common Street/Line Avenue (Exit 18D) in Shreveport will be closed.

This closure is scheduled to take place from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., and is necessary to allow for the repair of the crash attenuator at this location.

A crash attenuator, also known as an impact attenuator, is a device intended to reduce the damage to structures, vehicles, and lessen injuries to motorists resulting from a collision. These devices are designed to absorb the colliding vehicle’s energy.

Restrictions/Permits: Total ramp closure at the specified location. All vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route.

Alternate Route: Appropriate detour signage will be in place.

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.
