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.
