As the I-20 reconstruction project in Bossier continues to forge it's way to its anticipated completion in early 2026, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development just issued notice that the heavily traveled I-20 westbound on-ramp at the LA 3105 (Airline Drive) interchange in Bossier City has been reopened to traffic.

Additionally, the westbound off-ramp at Airline Drive is slated to reopen to traffic sometime later today, Wednesday, November 19, 2025. DOTD assures that an update will be issued when that occurs.

The reopening of the Airline Drive interchange marks another significant milestone for the $128 million project that is providing a host of critical improvements to the 3.5 mile stretch of I-20.

The Barksdale Blvd. and Benton Rd. on-ramp to I-20 westbound are anticipated to reopen later this month, with the I-20 eastbound off-ramp to Benton Road on course for reopening late next month.

All major concrete paving work is also nearing completion, a critical component of the overall project, which include the total reconstruction all travel lanes, roadway base, and interchange ramps from Benton Road to Industrial Drive in Bossier City. New drainage structures, street lighting improvements, and all new striping and signage are also included.

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone. Pedestrians should avoid walking or bicycling on an interstate.
