Work is steadily progressing on the I-10 Widening and Reconstruction Project in East Baton Rouge Parish. On October 21, crews successfully completed the final concrete pour for the new westbound bridge deck at the City Park Lake Bridge. The next phase includes installing deck drainage and pouring the concrete slab approaches at both bridge abutments. Additionally, crews will begin painting the sound walls along the westbound lanes of I-10.
On the south side of I-10, from E. Polk St. Park to Dalrymple Dr., crews have begun tree removal and clearing and grubbing operations. This work is in preparation for the construction of a retaining wall along the corridor, which is scheduled for completion in late 2026.
As part of the University Lakes Restoration Project, a joint effort between LSU and the City of Baton Rouge, May Street closed to all traffic on Wednesday, June 4. It is scheduled to reopen in Fall 2026. The closure of E. Lakeshore Drive under I-10 remains in effect while crews widen the interstate over City Park Lake. This area is inaccessible to motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists due to active construction.
Work is ongoing Monday through Saturday during daytime hours. Residents and motorists should expect increased truck traffic and construction noise throughout this period.
