Vinton, Louisiana – Motorists traveling on Interstate 10 Eastbound should be aware of an upcoming lane closure as announced by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The left lane of I-10 Eastbound, stretching from the Weigh Station at Mile Marker 2.5 to Exit 4 (US 90), will be closed from 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 13, 2025, until 6 a.m. on Friday, February 14, 2025.

This closure is necessary to facilitate repairs to the cable barrier, a safety feature designed to prevent vehicles from crossing into oncoming traffic during an incident. The cable barrier system consists of strong cables suspended between posts, which help to minimize the severity of collisions and protect drivers.

Motorists are urged to plan their routes accordingly and allow extra travel time during this period. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development aims to complete the repairs promptly to ensure the safety of all travelers on this busy interstate highway.
