The Washington Street exit off of I-10 in Baton Rouge often causes traffic problems. DOTD says it has a plan to improve things.
Beginning Friday at 9 p.m. until Sunday at 5 a.m., I-49 northbound at its intersection I-10 will be closed to all traffic. The repairs to the overpass are necessary after an 18-wheel truck hit the overpass and damaged the exterior girder in December.
