Intermittently Closed. Starting 5/26/2023 8:00 AM
Date Posted: 5/25/2023 9:50:20 AM INTERMITTENT LANE CLOSURES: I-20 at LA 531
interchange, Webster Parish The Louisiana Department of Transportation and
Development advises motorists to expect intermittent lane closures on I-20
eastbound and westbound as the project to replace the LA 531 overpass near
Minden in Webster Parish progresses. These lane closures are anticipated to last
for approximately the next six months, as the contractor works to mobilize
equipment and begin construction work on the new bridge. Some travel delays may
occur, though DOTD works to reduce the inconvenience to the traveling public as
much as possible while still allowing work to move forward on the project. The
existing bridge will remain open to traffic while construction on the new
structure is underway. To read more about the project, click here.

Road Construction on I-20 Both
All Lanes Affected
Road Construction on I-20 Both Directions from Hamilton Rd MM (20) to I-220 MM
(26). All Lanes Affected. Width Restriction: 11ft Additional Restrictions: No
Oversized Loads Starting 9/18/2023 12:00 AM
I-20 East and West from Hamilton Road (Mile Marker 20) to I-220 (Bossier/Mile
Marker 26) is reduced to one lane with 11 ft. width restrictions. No oversized
loads are permitted. In an effort to enhance safety and help ensure effective
traffic flow, commercial vehicles such as 18-wheelers are prohibited from
driving through the I-20 reconstruction zone in Bossier City, effective
Thursday, December 21, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. Previous messaging since the start of
the project has strongly urged commercial traffic to utilize the primary detour
of I-220, but this change will mean that vehicles not adhering to the detour may
be issued a citation under Louisiana Revised Statute 32:237. The current traffic
configuration includes several narrow bridges that have proven difficult for
large commercial vehicles to navigate, resulting in incidents that impact
traffic for long periods of time. Digital message boards are placed ahead of
each I-220 interchange in Shreveport and Bossier City, as well as at the on- and
off-ramps at the interchanges within the reconstruction zone directing those
trucks not to enter I-20. This change is also aimed at ensuring major
reconstruction work continues to make significant progress, as incidents
involving 18-wheelers can impact this work due to the nature of the clean-up and
removal process. ALL drivers should be aware of changing traffic conditions that
an occur at any time, particularly in a construction area. Be sure to remove all
distractions, leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you,
and adhere to posted speed limits.Start Date: Sep 18, 5:00AM
