As you might have discovered yesterday, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is doing routine bridge inspections at that intersection and it caused a number of delays yesterday for I-49 northbound motorists.

Today and tomorrow, those bridge inspections will continue and you need to be prepared if that area is part of your normal travel routine.

I-49 Southbound Exit Ramp To LA 3132 Eastbound

DOTD advises this exit ramp will be closed today, Wednesday, June 26 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm

I-49 Northbound Entrance Ramp From LA 3132 Westbound

DOTD advises this entrance ramp will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, June 27 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm

These are total ramp closures and all vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route.

Of course, this work will be performed weather permitting, so inclement weather could delay, prolong or alter the expected work hours and closures.

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.
