Attention motorists in East Baton Rouge Parish, a scheduled interruption is on the horizon for I-10 travelers. According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, both eastbound and westbound lanes from LA 1 to the I-10/I-110 Split are set for a rolling closure on November 26, starting from 1:00 AM to 5:00 AM. DOTD announced the closures are to facilitate the removal of a power line located over I-10 at Maximillian St.
The interstate is expected to reopen within 10 to 15 minutes after the scheduled work is completed. However, the timeline may change depending on weather conditions.
Commuters who frequently use this stretch of highway should plan accordingly and seek alternate routes if possible. The DOTD extends appreciation for the public's patience during this short yet necessary interruption and emphasizes the importance of driving cautiously through work zones for the safety of both the crews and traveling motorists.
The timing has been selected to minimize impact, as the early morning hours typically see reduced traffic loads; however, those who work night shifts or are traveling for holiday plans should take heed of this advisory. Any updates or changes to the schedule will be communicated by the DOTD to ensure that drivers can adjust their plans as needed and ensure a safe passage for all involved.
