Interstate 10

The two major interstates that run through Lafayette will get the attention of Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development work crews this week as sweeping operations are in store for both Interstate 10 and Interstate 49.

In a recent incident near the I-10/I-12 split, law enforcement seized approximately $700,000 during a routine traffic stop.

According to the post, there will be vehicles traveling in BOTH directions in the westbound lanes of I-10, for approximately one year.

Two crashes near the Iberville/St. Martin Parish Line have Interstate 10 closed in both directions.

The road will be closed for at least two hours.

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.

Lane closures are scheduled to happen on the Interstate 10 Atchafalaya Basin Bridge and in Baton Rouge all throughout the workweek.

Eastbound traffic is being diverted at the Evangeline/Jennings exit.

The highway will be closed until further notice.

Construction on I-10 continues this week as DOTD workers will be focusing on a stretch of the interstate in St. Martin Parish.

There is no word yet on how long that section of roadway will be closed.

The crash is backing up traffic around mile marker 97.

If you need to head to Baton Rouge from the Acadiana area, get off of I-10 at the 1-49 exit.

A crash following a high-speed chase has traffic backing up on I-10 Eastbound near Duson.

Interstate 10 near the Jennings/Elton area is closed Eastbound and Westbound due to an accident.

This disabled 18-wheeler is on Interstate 49, just north of Interstate 10.

The work will be done on Interstate 49 between Interstate 10 and the Lafayette Parish line at the St. Landry Parish line.

The work will happen at night.

Emergency Personnel were diverting traffic through the Louisiana Ave. and I-49 North exit.

State Police are asking drivers to use Highway 190.
