Crews are closing the I-10 at Williams Blvd. so they can make preparations for a new airport exit in Kenner.
"The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that Interstate 10 between Loyola Drive and Williams Boulevard will be completely closed Saturday, March 7 between 1 a.m. and approximately 5 a.m., while crews remove multiple overhead utilities."
DOTD released detour routes:
• Eastbound drivers will exit I-10 at Loyola Drive, turn right onto Loyola Drive, turn left onto Veterans Boulevard, then turn left onto Williams Boulevard, before entering I-10.
• Westbound drivers will exit I-10 at Williams Boulevard, take the exit to Williams Boulevard South, turn right onto Veterans Boulevard, then turn right onto Loyola Drive, before turning left onto I-10.
Additional work will need to be done, including the demolition of a hotel next to the I-10 at Loyola as the work continues.
