The I-20 lane closures that were originally scheduled to take place approximately a month ago on August 17, are set to happen this Sunday, September 21.

According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, drivers are being advised that there will be intermittent lane closures on I-20 westbound at the weigh station west of the Town of Greenwood this Sunday from approximately 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

These alternating lane closures are necessary to allow for repairs to the weigh-in-motion scale.

The weigh station is located approximately 2.5 miles west of the US 79/LA 169 (Exit 3) interchange.

As with all projects of this nature, work will be performed "Weather Permitting" so inclement weather could delay, extend or alter in other ways, the scheduled work day/hours.

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.
