Road construction continues in Lafayette and on Interstate 10 this summer as DOTD crews continue to address certain areas of the Hub City one by one and continue to work towards the completion of the I-10 Widening Project.
Most of the work is scheduled for the nighttime hours but there could be some lane and shoulder closures along I-10 for motorists who travel during that time.
According to reports, a five car pileup along I-10 resulted in multiple injuries but no human deaths. A horse trailer was involved in the accident and resulted in "several horses" dying.
Whether it's part of the closing stages of the I-10 Widening Project or the finishing touches on a portion of the Interstate, DOTD crews will be out on the highway in parts of Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes this weekend.
As part of the I-10 Widening Project, DOTD crews will be working in two main areas in Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes - at the Louisiana Avenue and Breaux Bridge exits.
