The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced that beginning Monday, November 10, alternating lane closures will occur along I-49 northbound and southbound entrance and exit ramps in Alexandria, between Exit 80 and Exit 86.

The closures will take place daily from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. as part of an ongoing project to replace roadway striping and other reflectorized pavement markings along this section of the interstate.

Work is expected to be completed by December 2025, weather permitting. DOTD advises motorists to use caution when traveling through the work zone and to be mindful of crews and equipment in the area.
