The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) advises motorists that beginning today, June 20 through Friday, June 21, they will have crews working along I-20 eastbound and westbound between Goodwill Road and US 371 in Dixie Inn. The work is set to begin at approximately 10 a.m. on both days.  

According to the DOTD Public Information Officer Erin Buchanan, the crews will be trimming trees along the right-of-way to improve the safety of motorists.  
 There will be brief intermittent rolling roadblocks.

“A rolling roadblock is just a slow-moving operation where the roadway isn’t technically closed, but equipment may need to be moved along the interstate at times,” said Buchanan. 

Disruption to traffic is expected to be minimal, but motorists are advised to be aware of the presence of crews and equipment while this work is underway.
