Right Lane on I-10 in Vinton Remains Blocked, and Congestion Stretches for Miles Due to Overturned 18-Wheeler
Vinton, Louisiana - On December 15, 2022, at 5:25 pm, the right lane of I-10 westbound near Exit 4 (Vinton / US 90 Exit) remained closed due to an overturned 18-wheeler. Congestion on I-10 had reached the outskirts of Sulphur but had not yet reached any I-10 exits in Sulphur at the time this was written.
US 90 in Vinton and LA 12 in Starks also appear to have traffic congestion due to the crash, but not as much as I-10.
Drivers should expect significant delays in the area.
