Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Announces Lane Closure on Interstate 10 Eastbound in Vinton.
Vinton, Louisiana – In a recent announcement, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced a lane closure on Interstate 10 Eastbound. The closure will span from Exit 7 to Exit 8 and will be in effect from 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 14, 2024, until 9 a.m. on Sunday, February 18, 2024. This closure is necessary for crews to perform shoulder reconstruction.
The DOTD has emphasized that these closures will be continuous throughout the specified duration. Motorists are advised to plan their travel accordingly and consider alternate routes during this time. Two alternate routes have been suggested by the DOTD to minimize inconvenience for drivers.
The first alternative route involves exiting onto US 90 at Exit 4 and heading North. From there, motorists should make a right turn onto US 90 going East and continue until reaching LA 27 in Sulphur. Once on LA 27, drivers can utilize the on-ramp to re-enter Interstate 10 Eastbound.
The second suggested alternate route is to exit onto LA 3063 at Exit 7 and proceed North. After that, drivers should turn right onto US 90 going East and follow the route until arriving at LA 27 in Sulphur. From there, they can access the on-ramp to re-enter Interstate 10 Eastbound.
These alternate routes have been carefully planned to ensure smooth traffic flow and minimize delays for motorists. The DOTD advises drivers to exercise caution and follow all posted signage and instructions while utilizing these detours.
The shoulder reconstruction work being carried out is crucial for maintaining the safety and integrity of the roadway.
