Nighttime Lane Closures Set For I-20 In Bossier And Webster
You can almost hear the theme music from the blockbuster "Jaws" playing in the background while the announcer belts out "Just when you thought it was safe to get back on I-20."
Thankfully, the multi-year I-20 resurfacing project in Bossier City was recently completed, but according to DOTD, there's still a little work left to do in the area.
In an announcement from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, we're told about an upcoming $378,952 project to provide fresh pavement striping and reflectorized markings on a section of I-20 extending through Bossier and Webster Parishes.
This lengthy project will stretch along I-20 from the I-220 interchange in Bossier City to just west of the US 371 interchange in Dixie Inn in Webster Parish, including the on and off-ramps at each of the interchanges along the project length.

Work is scheduled to begin on Sunday, August 9, but in an effort to inconvenience the least amount of traffic, will be restricted to nighttime only. During this time drivers should expect slow-moving operations and intermittent lane closures from approximately 7:00 pm to 6:00 am, Sunday through Thursday nights.
The entire project is estimated to wrap up in mid to late September 2026, noting that striping operations are heavily weather dependent.
