PROJECT UPDATE – RAMP REOPENED: I-20 major rehab project, Bossier Parish
BOSSIER CITY – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that the I-20 westbound off-ramp to LA 3105 (Airline Drive) has been REOPENED to traffic. This is the final ramp to be reopened at this interchange as part of the $128 million I-20 major rehabilitation project.
The westbound on-ramp was officially reopened to traffic on Tues., November 18th, and the eastbound on and off-ramps were reopened in late October.
The Barksdale Blvd. and Benton Rd. on-ramps to I-20 westbound are anticipated to reopen in late November 2025, with the I-20 eastbound off-ramp to Benton Road on course for reopening in late December 2025.
As a reminder, all ramps are currently open to traffic at the Hamilton Road, Old Minden Road, Airline Drive, and Industrial Drive interchanges. The I-20 eastbound off-ramp to Barksdale Blvd. is also open.
The entire project is anticipated to wrap up in early 2026, weather and other factors permitting. For much more information and to access additional resources, visit the I-20 project webpage here.
CMV REMINDER:
Commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) such as 18-wheelers are currently prohibited under Louisiana Revised Statute 32:327 from driving through the rehab work zone (from Hamilton Road to Industrial Drive) due to narrow lane widths. As construction progresses and the new travel lanes are built, this prohibition will be assessed for its necessity. CMV drivers must utilize the primary detour of I-220.
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. Pedestrians should avoid walking or bicycling on an interstate.
