road construction

A change in the construction schedule will mean no lane closures for the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge at Whiskey Bay this weekend.

Beginning Sunday, January 5 at 8:30 PM, I-10 on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge from Mile Marker 117 in St. Martin Parish to Mile Marker 141 (Grosse Tete) in Iberville Parish will have alternating lane and shoulder closures as DOTD workers perform bridge joint and barrier rail repairs.

DOTD crews are patching the roadway and doing other work on Verot School Road from now through Saturday, December 14, weather permitting.

Expect detour routes on Girard Park Drive and Hospital Drive for at least the next eight months.

DOTD crews will be performing herbicide spraying operations on Interstate 10 tonight.

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.

A request for federal funding to repair the roadway's surface will be made in the next several days.

A bill that would direct $700 million in BP oil spill settlement money to road projects gains final passage.

Plans will be discussed at a meeting on June 6th.

DOTD officials will be closing the I-10 WESTBOUND Off Ramp at the Ambassador Caffery Parkway exit on Thursday night at 10 PM.
