Lake Charles, Louisiana – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced a scheduled lane closure on Interstate 10 Westbound over Ryan Street in Lake Charles. The closure, set to take place from 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 15, 2024, until 5 a.m. on Monday, December 16, 2024, will affect the right lane of the interstate.
The closure is necessary to facilitate guardrail repair, a crucial safety feature along highways. Guardrails are designed to absorb and redirect the impact of a vehicle in the event of a crash or incident, reducing the risk of injury or fatality. Regular maintenance and repair of these barriers are essential to ensuring the safety of motorists.
During the closure, drivers are advised to exercise caution and plan for potential delays.
