Traffic Closures Set For I-10, US 90, and Near LA 93

Thanksgiving Day is fast approaching and there are many traffic closures set to happen before and after the blessed holiday.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has traffic closures scheduled for Interstate 10, U.S. Highway 90, and Apollo Road.

Groundbreaking For The Ambassador Caffery Interchange Project

Speaking of U.S. 90, the highway was highlighted earlier this week as part of a groundbreaking attended by Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards as he and other local leaders celebrate the Ambassador Caffery Interchange Project, a $136.52 million project to construct a new interchange at Ambassador Caffery Pkwy and U.S. 90, a future I-49 South project.

The project will consist of the following:

Construction of a fully access controlled grade-separated interchange
6-lane bridge structure over Ambassador Caffery
Widening U.S. 90 to six lanes
One way northbound and southbound two-lane frontage roads
U-Turn lanes
Widening and reconstruction of Ambassador Caffery to account for the new interchange configuration
New drainage structures

Now, Let's Get To The Traffic Closures

While some of these are happening during the overnight hours, there are some daytime closures you will need to be aware of as well.
