According to the DOTD, next Wednesday, May 1, the LA 3132 westbound ramp to I-20 westbound ramp in Shreveport will be closed.

This closure is scheduled to take place from approximately 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, and is necessary to allow DOTD crews to perform necessary repairs to the roadway approach.

This ramp is located approximately 0.6 miles west of the LA 511 interchange with LA 3132.

DOTD states this is a total ramp closure at the specified location. All vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route. Permitted loads already scheduled for this route will be allowed to pass through the work zone.

Motorists can detour via the I-220 eastbound ramp to Jefferson Paige Road to I-220 westbound to I-20 westbound.

As with all projects from the DOTD, this work will be done weather permitting, so inclement weather could postpone or prolong this project.

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.

Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
