Louisiana – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced that both eastbound and westbound lanes of I-20 at the LA 531 interchange near Minden in Webster Parish will be closed overnight on Saturday, February 1, 2025.
The closure will begin at 7:00 p.m. on February 1 and last until 6:00 a.m. on February 2. It is necessary to facilitate the safe removal of temporary formwork on the newly constructed bridge as part of the ongoing LA 531 overpass replacement project.
During the closure, through traffic on I-20 will be diverted to the off-ramps and re-enter the interstate via the on-ramps at the interchange.
The replacement project is approximately 73% complete, with significant progress made on the new overpass and the roundabouts designed to improve traffic flow at the interchange.
Once traffic is shifted to the new bridge, demolition of the old structure will begin. The project is expected to be completed by summer 2025, weather permitting.
