DOTD will have numerous upcoming road closures that you need to be aware of in relation to phase one of the Interstate 10 overpass project in Lafayette at I-49 (Evangeline Thruway).
After closing earlier this morning (04/13/22) due to an overturned tanker reportedly carrying hazardous materials, I-10 eastbound at I-49 has re-opened.
I'm grateful for the fire department and recognize the risks they take to keep us safe. So, what gives? What could have started those fires on the side of I-49?
$175 to 200 million worth of work will be done on Interstate 10 soon, and Acadiana residents - as well as those who pass through that area - should be very happy once it is done.
