Vinton, Louisiana – Motorists traveling on I-10 Westbound in Vinton should be prepared for a lane closure starting Thursday, November 14, 2024. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), the left lane will be closed from Mile Marker 8 to Mile Marker 10, beginning at 7 p.m. and ending at 6 a.m. the following morning.
The closure is necessary for crews to install sheet piles, a type of retaining wall used to support soil or other materials. Sheet piles are typically made of steel or concrete and are driven into the ground to create a stable barrier. In this case, the installation is part of a larger construction project aimed at improving the infrastructure along I-10 Westbound.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution when navigating the affected area, as the lane closure may cause delays and congestion.
