Nighttime ramp closures planned at I-220 and I-20 interchange in Bossier City

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is advising motorists of overnight ramp closures at the I-220 and I-20 interchange in Bossier City beginning Monday, June 1.

The following ramps will be closed nightly on Monday, June 1, Tuesday, June 2, and Wednesday, June 3:

  • I-20 westbound to I-220 westbound (Exit 26)
  • I-20 eastbound to I-220 westbound (Exit 26)

Closures are scheduled from approximately 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night to allow crews to complete permanent roadway striping operations as part of the $128 million I-20 major rehabilitation project.

Westbound motorists will continue on I-20 westbound. Drivers needing access to I-220 are advised to use the LA 782-2 (Industrial Drive) exit to U.S. 80 (East Texas Street) to I-220.

Officials said the overall I-20 rehabilitation project, which rebuilt a 3.5-mile section of interstate through Bossier City, is nearing completion. Permanent roadway striping remains one of the primary ongoing activities and will require intermittent lane and ramp closures for safety and efficiency.

DOTD also noted that the commercial motor vehicle ban through the work zone has been lifted.

Motorists are encouraged to drive cautiously through the construction area and remain alert for workers and equipment.
