There is no more information at this time on whether the bridge will be immediately reopening after the accident is cleared up due to the fire and spillage.
The I-10 Widening Project continues over the next two nights as the project focuses on widening a key stretch involving the border parishes of Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes.
Most of the work is scheduled for the nighttime hours but there could be some lane and shoulder closures along I-10 for motorists who travel during that time.
According to reports, a five car pileup along I-10 resulted in multiple injuries but no human deaths. A horse trailer was involved in the accident and resulted in "several horses" dying.
DOTD crews are out this week on Interstate 10 in Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes, either performing needed maintenance or working to complete the I-10 Widening Project scheduled to be finished this summer.
