Commuters in Livingston and East Baton Rouge Parishes should prepare for a week of delayed night travel due to lane closures. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has announced that both I-12 Eastbound and I-10 Westbound will undergo concrete patching work starting Monday and continuing through next Sunday. Officials have indicated nightly closures on I-12 Eastbound from the Livingston Parish Line at the Amite River to Exit 10 (LA 3002, Denham Springs), and on I-10 Westbound from Exit 163 (Siegen Lane) to Exit 160 (Essen Lane).
The scheduled time for these disruptions is between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., starting Monday evening through Saturday morning. These repairs are a necessary step to maintain the infrastructure that supports daily travel across Louisiana. The DOTD urges drivers to exercise patience and remain attentive in construction zones, watching for crews working overnight to complete the project. These precautions are important for the safety of both workers and motorists.
Driving through construction sites is a routine part of daily travel, and roadway repair and maintenance are necessary to ensure safety and infrastructure longevity. As lane closures take place, the DOTD reminds motorists to reduce speed and remain alert for work crews and equipment in the area.
Travelers using these routes during the scheduled times may need to consider alternative paths or prepare for additional travel time. The DOTD advises staying informed through traffic news and updates during the lane closures, which may affect commutes and transport logistics in the region.
