I-10

Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced that I-10 from the Louisiana/Texas line through southwest Louisiana has been re-opened.

Traffic is being rerouted from I-10 to the 210 loop.

According to a sign posted in the empty lot at the intersection of Belden St. and Ryan St, there's an Exxon gas station coming soon to downtown Lake Charles.

Motorists who use the I-10 bridge over the Calcasieu River in Lake Charles have been given some unexpected good news.

Maintenance work will begin today affecting the eastbound lanes of travel through Lake Charles.

Motorists are advised to use I-210 as a detour around Lake Charles while work takes place.

I-210 Bridge is shutdown completely, WB lanes of I-10 Bridge are closed, as well as several sections of interstate I-10. Get the latest road closures now

This was not the suspect's first run-in with law enforcement.

If you plan on traveling I-10 between Baton Rouge and New Orleans the weekend of January 13, you may want to take an alternate route.

A project that would widen I-10 between Lafayette and the Atchafalaya Basin is on the schedule to begin in January of 2017.

Expect delays going westbound on I-10 over the Calcasieu River Bridge today. The right lane will be closed for inspection from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Expect delays on the Calcasieu River Bridge through Thursday, April 7th, due to inspection.
