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.

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

DOTD officials say the bridge will remain closed. Crews are performing an extensive and detailed inspection to determine the extent of the damage.

Now that President Joe Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has passed SWLA is finally get a new I-10 Bridge! Work to replacement begins in August.

Everyone's afraid of the big bad I-10 Bridge in Lake Charles, as they should be.
