LA DOTD

A log truck traveling south on the highway struck two Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development highway maintenance vehicles, killing one employee.

The Motorist Assist Patrol employee was fatally stabbed on the side of I-10 Sunday afternoon.

When he started, he was a student-employee and, in that same year, he became a permanent employee of the department. That year was 1955.

We all know Louisiana's roads leave quite a bit to be desired. Well, looks like we aren't the only ones who think so according to a new Consumer Affairs report.

LA DOTD has announced that North University Avenue will be closed from Pont Des Mouton to Gloria Switch for two weeks.

Less traffic means now is the perfect time to work to improve Louisiana's roadways.

Motorists who use I-10 can expect lane closures over portions of the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge beginning January 17th.

You're encouraged to report bridge areas that are clogged with debris or sediment to your local DOTD office.

There have been several reports of tire damage from nails scattered on four different highways in the parish.

Residents and business owners are demanding answers after more flooding occurs between the two new roundabouts.

How many crashes do you think occur on I-10 between Lafayette and Baton Rouge every year? 77% of those crashes can be blamed on one thing.

The Louisiana legislature is contemplating charging you more for a gallon of gas. If it meant better roads would you support it?

Louisiana is looking to the private sector to get road projects completed now instead of waiting decades for funding to be in place.

The DOTD's "Don't Stop on the Tracks" campaign is in full swing across the state. It makes sense because in a battle between your car and a train the outcome won't be in your favor.

We are constantly updating the list of road closures. Continue visiting this post for updates.

A project that would widen I-10 between Lafayette and the Atchafalaya Basin is on the schedule to begin in January of 2017.

DOTD crews will be replacing a bridge in Acadia Parish that will close road until July.
