Calcasieu River Bridge

A plan to build a new I-10 Calcasieu River bridge in Lake Charles, Louisiana, moved a step closer to reality. It got the nod from a legislative committee.

If your guess is the Calcasieu River Bridge, that would be incorrect. Here is the actual name and other interesting facts about the bridge.

After being voted down 8-6 in a Louisiana Legislature Committee, the plan to replace the Calcasieu River Bridge is on life support.

The community will have a chance to see the future plans and receive feedback tonight.

For years, we've been told that contamination from a 1994 chemical spill has prevented work on the I-10 Bridge. But what if that's not entirely true?

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution.
