Louisiana motorists whose travel plans include using I-10 next week will want to know about planned closures in the eastbound lanes of travel.

When you see an emergency vehicle in this position, reduce your speed and be aware of what is ahead

Louisiana roads now rank 40th in the United States. In 2011 the state was ranked 21st. The drop in the states ranking is said to be due to a drop in maintenance spending for the states roads.

An overturned tanker caused a six hour lane closure (one of the Westbound lanes on I-10.) The first alert went out at 2:37 p.m. on Thursday.

It was 2 o’clock in the morning when a car went speeding past a Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s deputy on Interstate 10 about two miles west of Sulphur.  At first, maybe it looked like a typical late night speeder, but according to the CPSO, nothing about this traffic violation was normal.
