Lake Charles / Calcasieu Parish
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development plans to close all eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 at the Calcasieu River Bridge from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. November 15 through 19.
Eastbound lanes will remain open Thanksgiving week. Closures resume November 30 through December 3, then Sunday through Thursday nights December 7 through 20. Dates are in 2026.
Through traffic should take Interstate 210 East at Exit 25. At Westlake, the detour uses LA 378, Exit 27, to Interstate 10 West and Interstate 210 East.
The $1.71 million project includes structural repairs to the bridge truss. DOTD expects completion by May 2027.
