I-10 Widening: BR Expressway to remain 3 lanes in each direction during construction

Louisiana transportation officials plan to maintain three lanes in each direction during the next stage of the Interstate 10 widening project, the state Department of Transportation and Development announced today.
Stage two of construction is set to begin in early 2026, DOTD says—a year later than the timeline discussed earlier this year.
Officials had considered reducing travel lanes from three to two, which spurred concerns at a public meeting DOTD held in March regarding the impact on traffic. Gov.-elect Jeff Landry also weighed in on the subject last year.
While DOTD plans to maintain three lanes in each direction where there are currently three lanes, periodic lane and/or ramp closures will be necessary during construction. Officials plan to notify the public ahead of any disruptions.

Thank the lord. Those long term closures would have been hell.
Although honestly part of me wishes they could close it entirely for a week and get it all done at once. Israel did exactly this during COVID lockdowns, they figured “shite, might as well” and got a years worth of work done in under a month

You would have thought with the billions in “Obama Shovel Ready” projects supposedly que’d up and Mitch’s $Trillion in infrastructure money slush fund that somebody would have rammed through a few necessary projects when everybody was forced to stay home with the “flu”…
