Interstate 10 Calcasieu River Bridge Project

under construction

The project involves upgrading an 8.8km corridor from near Ryan Street in Lake Charles to the I-210 and I-10 interchange in Westlake, Louisiana. It includes a new bridge and approaches, interstate roadways and ramps, I-10 service roads, and interchanges at PPG Drive, Sampson Street, and North Lakeshore/Ryan Street. The project aims to replace the functionally obsolete and structurally deficient existing bridge with a new bridge that has more lanes, full shoulders, roadway lighting, and less steep approach grades. The project is under a design, build, operate model with tolling set to commence in 2031 after partial acceptance of construction.
