I-12 Construction work at night
Posted on 10/11/18 at 2:37 pm
Posted on 10/11/18 at 2:37 pm
During weeknights, the construction work has been maddening...
Website says for "patching". I just don't know of this much patching that was needed. It has been going on for a while now. Also, where they patch it has been awful. Like speed bumps along the interstate now. Not a ton to discuss I suppose. Just wanted to vent.
Anyone else going through this frustration? (one lane on interstate causing huge delays) See post on website below:
(Sorry if this has been discussed previously)
I-12 & I-10 Patching, East Baton Rouge Parish
Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 1:49:08 PM
Friday, October 12th through Friday, October 19th at 8:00 PM each night until 5:00 AM the following morning (Weather Permitting).
At least one lane will be open at all times in the following locations.
• I-12 Eastbound and Westbound between I-10/ I-12 split and the Livingston Parish Line
• I-10 Eastbound and Westbound between Acadian Thruway and the I-10/ I-12 split
• College Dr. between I-10 Eastbound Exit 158 Ramp and Corporate Blvd. WB
This closure is necessary for concrete patching and related work.
There are no vehicle restrictions.
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

Would you rather them do it during the day?

they "patch" to fix issues and yes they arent very smooth
later on they come back and finally repave over those previously completed patched sections of the road but that can take 6 months to happen sometimes
while its not the smoothest to drive over, a bump is better then hitting a pothole or open crack
that said, im with you on how hard can it be to make the patches more seamless and smooth to drive over

I would not... I just wanted to complain. Every time I pass by it does not look like they are actually accomplishing anything. Often they are drilling and cutting crap. I assume sometimes they have to do that - one of those they have to drill it out to fill it in situations. But the other thing is I travel is twice a day and have never noticed this many issues - for months they have been going down the interstate little by little. If you look going West bound on I-12 in the left lane, it is like a damn wagon trail.

Are you driving by at night? That is when they are doing the work. Believe me, I get the representative samples (cylinders) from that job. I have to test them for compressive strength (psi). They are doing work, just at night when there is very little traffic. They pour at night and it sets by daybreak.

It’s the same company doing the i12 in satsuma. They are taking forever on both projects

Yes, I travel through twice per week at around 9:00. I understand that there is less traffic than during the day, and they are doing it at the best time. However, the traffic is stopped for miles. 20-30 minutes extra each time I have to travel that way is not fun. It has been this way for months. My 5 mph observation of driving by each week seems to be they are not doing very much and are doing it slowly.
