LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) - Earlier this week, Louisiana DOTD officials announced a plan to repair the damage caused by a truck carrying an excavator at the Interstate 10 overpass at Interstate 49 in Lafayette.

This first phase of work is estimated to take place January 20-22 (Friday-Sunday) as I-49 north will be closed throughout that weekend so the repairs can begin.

Well, beginning Monday, there will be some construction happening just a few miles down I-10. DOTD officials say a slow moving operation will happen in the inside and outside lanes of I-10 westbound and eastbound from mile marker 108 (1 mile before Breaux Bridge exit) to mile marker 115 (LA 347, Cecilia, Henderson) as workers will be installing rumble strips during the day.

The work will happen Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, from 7 AM until 5:30 PM, weather permitting.

Construction activity will be performed using a slow moving operation in one travel lane at a time, which may cause drivers to encounter delays.
