The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that the ongoing $419,714 project to replace all the pavement markings (striping) and reflectorized markers on a section of I-20 in Caddo Parish is nearing completion, with upcoming intermittent nighttime lane closures scheduled.
On the nights of Wednesday, July 1st and Thursday, July 2, 2026, weather permitting, drivers should expect intermittent lane closures along I-20 in both directions, along with slow-moving operations from the Texas state line to I-220 in Shreveport.
These lane closures are restricted to nighttime only, from approximately 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. each night, and are necessary to allow the contractor to perform punch list items that include the placement of raised reflectorized buttons and miscellaneous striping at ramps and interchanges.
No detours will be necessary and no lane width restrictions.
As a reminder, the project included replacing all the roadway striping and other reflectorized markers on the pavement of I-20 in both directions from the state line to I-220 in Shreveport.
Pavement markings are used to convey messages to roadway users. They indicate which part of the road to use, provide information about conditions ahead, and indicate where passing is allowed.
Pavement markings provide continuous information to motorists related to roadway alignment, vehicle positioning, and other important driving-related tasks.
Safety reminder:
DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
