Baton Rouge – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that beginning Nov. 27, 2023, Kiewit-Boh, A Joint Venture, will begin the next phase of construction on I-10. Crews will begin working on the permanent widening of I-10 westbound over City Park Lake, as well as the retaining walls on I-10 westbound between the Perkins Rd. entrance and City Park Lake.
Beginning Thursday, Nov. 30, a traffic shift on I-10 westbound will be in place between the Perkins Rd. on-ramp and Dalrymple Dr. off-ramp. Temporary concrete barriers will be installed along the outside lane to allow crews to work on the widening, shifting motorists slightly towards the inside center median. During this shift, the shoulders will be eliminated.
Between Nov. 27 and Dec. 8, motorists can expect various overnight lane closures on I-10 westbound between S. Acadian Thwy. and Louise St. During this time, the westbound Perkins Rd. on-ramp and the westbound Dalrymple Dr. off-ramp will be fully closed overnight. No overnight lane or ramp closures will occur on the nights of Dec. 1 and 2.
On Wednesday, Nov. 29, there will be a new traffic configuration on Dalrymple Dr. from the I-10 westbound exit ramp to the I-10 overpass. Temporary concrete barriers will be installed along the current southbound lane, causing southbound traffic to shift onto the inside northbound lane. This traffic configuration is necessary to allow the contractor to begin working on the embankment for the widening of I-10.
This phase of construction is anticipated to be completed in late 2025, weather permitting.
In addition to the above traffic impacts, E. Lakeshore Dr. at I-10 will be closed from Lake Hills Pkwy. to Fiero St. beginning at 7 am on Monday, November 27, 2023, only local traffic permitted. This portion of E. Lakeshore Dr. will not be accessible to motorists, pedestrians and bicyclist, as this will be an active construction site. This closure is anticipated to remain in place for three years, weather permitting, while the contractors work on the permanent widening of I-10 over City Park Lake. North and southbound traffic are advised to use Dalrymple Dr. throughout the duration of this closure.
Upcoming closures on city streets are as follows:
S. 10th St. – Southbound left shoulder closure between Europe St. and S. Blvd. from 7 am to 5 pm on Nov. 21 and Nov. 22.
E. Harrison St. – Full closure between Virginia St. and Carolina St. from Nov. 27 through summer 2025.
Dalrymple Dr. – Full closure between E. Lakeshore Dr. and I-10 eastbound off-ramp from 7 pm to 5 am on Nov. 27 through Dec. 8. (No Fridays or Saturdays.)
Ebony Ave., north of I-10 – Southbound full closure between Baywood Ave. and I-10 from 7 am to 5 pm on Nov. 27 through Dec. 1.
Once the widening project is completed, there will be four travel lanes in each direction from the I-10/I-110 interchange to Acadian Thruway. For more information about the I-10 project, visit I10br.com.
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through construction sites, and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

I remember hearing about how they were going to close I10 in both directions to 1 lane for a period of 12 months. Pretty sure that was going to start in 2024. Whatever happened to that?

For a second I thought they were sending I-10 traffic to lakeshore dr

But, but, the I10 Miss river bridge is still just two lanes in each direction. They’re just making the bottle that much bigger than the neck!

I wish Louisiana could subcontract this shite out to the state of Texas.

It was originally going to be one lane WB from the 10/110 split to the bridge, and one lane EB from the bridge to the Washington St exit.
They then decided to widen the WB flyover before closing any lanes, which will allow it to stay at two lanes WB from the 10/110 split to the bridge. It will still be one lane on the EB side from the bridge to Washington St, but it already bottlenecks at that exit anyway since the right lane is exit only.
So basically the idea is that it should be roughly the same, in terms of number of lanes, as what we have now. It’ll still be a shitshow though because of the lane shifts.
As much as it sucks in BR, it’s really going to suck for folks who work on the other side of the river.
