road closure

For the most part, eastbound traffic on I-220 in Bossier City is flowing smoothly.

Due to worsening weather conditions a number of additional highly traveled roads in Caddo Parish had to be closed.

Due to the chances of 1-2 inches of accumulation of snow/sleet, DOTD has closed 2 more Bossier Parish roads.

North Caddo Parish just cannot catch a break this week.

With road construction on I-20 in Bossier City beginning this week, you might have thought traffic could not get any worse.

Kansas City Southern Railroad has some work to do, but they will have to close a couple of heavily traveled Bossier City Roads in order to get that work done.

Beginning later this morning, I-20 westbound in Bossier City could slow to a crawl with the closure of a lane and some entrance ramps.

The work continues this week at I-220 and I-20 at the Barksdale Air Force Base Interchange and will require some alternative plans to navigate the area later this week.

Soundbound lanes from Mooringsport to Blanchard and northbound lanes from Blanchard to where the truck is stopped are closed at this time.

The DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office has just reported they've had to close Highway 5 at Highway 3015 in Longstreet, Louisiana.

Nobody wants to work on a Sunday, but in my humble opinion, this is certainly the best day to halt traffic, if needed, and do bridge inspections.

LADOTD will be doing routine bridge inspections and they expect the lane closures to take place from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm.
