Permanent Pavement Markings To Be Installed On I-10 In St. Martin Parish

Our first I-10 project begins on Monday, February 6, and will last for three days as DOTD crews will be installing permanent pavement markings on the stretch of the interstate that passes through St. Martin Parish.

The construction will be done as a slow moving operation which will happen in the travel lanes of I-10 westbound and eastbound from mile marker 108 (1 mile before the Breaux Bridge exit) to mile marker 117 (2 miles after the Henderson/Cecilia exit). This will happen from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The work was originally planned to happen last week and at night but was changed to the morning and daytime hours of this week because of expected inclement weather.

Because of how slow-moving the project will be, drivers can expect to encounter delays.
