I-10 Eastbound Lane Closures Scheduled Between Vinton And Sulphur In Calcasieu Parish on November 6

By Calcasieu Staff

Published November 05, 2025

Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced lane closures on Interstate 10 Eastbound in Calcasieu Parish scheduled for Thursday, November 6, 2025.

The right and center lanes of I-10 Eastbound between milepost 16 and milepost 17 will be closed from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. The affected area sits between Vinton and Sulphur along the interstate corridor.

Crews will perform roadway maintenance during the closure period. DOTD has not specified the exact nature of the maintenance work planned for this section of highway.

Motorists traveling eastbound on I-10 through this area should expect delays and plan for extra travel time. Only one lane will remain open during the nine-hour closure window, which could create traffic backups during peak travel periods.

The closure will affect a one-mile stretch of the interstate. Drivers who regularly commute through this section may want to consider alternative routes or adjust their travel schedules to avoid the maintenance window.

The closure is set to end at 5 p.m. on Thursday, with all lanes expected to reopen to traffic after maintenance work concludes.
