BATON ROUGE — On Friday night into Saturday morning, I-10 westbound will be closed between the flyover and the Mississippi River Bridge as state transportation crews continue the I-10 Widening Project. 

The full road closure will be in effect from 10 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Saturday morning.

Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development officials announced that a detour will be put in place to allow access to the west side of the river.

During the closure, drivers who want to cross the river will need to take I-110 to U.S. 190, take 190 over the river, turn left onto La. 1 and continue until La. 1 meets I-10 in Port Allen.
