Because of the ongoing I-10 Widening Project, as well as other road work, there are numerous lane closures happening along the much-traveled interstate this through the weekend.
As Imelda continues to dump rain on Eastern Texas and Western Louisiana, DOTD announces they have now closed Interstate 10 at the Texas-Louisiana border.
The northbound left lane and center lane of the Evangeline Thruway at the I-10 overpass will be closed TONIGHT from 8 PM until 12 AM, weather permitting.
Earlier today, one motorist died and two others are injured following an accident on I-10 East bound by Exit 96. Drone footage has been captured of the scene.
Starting tonight (Monday) and Wednesday night, there will be a rolling lane closure happening in both directions between the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge and the new Mississippi River Bridge.
There will be nightly alternating lane closures happening in both directions on Wednesday and Thursday on the I-10 Atchafalaya Basin Bridge in St. Martin and Iberville Parishes.
With the flooding Louisiana is currently facing, in most cases sandbags just aren't going to cut it. One family in Sabine Parish constructed a pretty massive levee surrounding their home just in time to hopefully keep everything safe.
