Shreveport Interstate Entrance Ramp to be Closed This Week
If you have travelled I-220 through Shreveport one night in the past week, and you crossed the Cross Lake Bridge, you have to admit just how awesome the new lighting looks.
Kudos to the DOTD and the City of Shreveport for a job well done!
Now, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is about to address another issue in the vicinity of that bridge.
The DOTD has just sent out an advisement to all motorists that this Thursday, June 13, the I-220 westbound on-ramp to I-49 northbound in Shreveport will be closed.
This closure is scheduled to take place from approximately 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and is necessary to allow for DOTD crews to perform bridge railing repair.
This bridge is located approximately 0.8 miles west of the US 71 (N. Market Street) interchange.
The DOTD highlights that this is a total bridge/ramp closure and all vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route such as I-49 northbound can be accessed via I-220 to US 71 (N. Market St) to LA 3194 (MLK Drive) to I-49 northbound. Detour signage will be in place.
As with all DOTD projects, this work will be done weather permitting, so inclement weather could delay, extend or modify the work day(s) or hours for this closure.
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.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
