RacismSystemic racism is inherent in the pattern of destroying Black neighborhoods with cut through interstates nation-wide
Harm CausedFreeways are the underlying culprit to systemic issues impacting education, community, policing, and unhealthy living conditions. Interstates don’t improve cities but make them poorer.
Recent ExamplesCommunities have been reconnecting for decades when interstates are removed. Recent regional examples include NOLA advocating for removal of interstate over Claiborne Avenue, and the super popular Klyde Warren Park in Dallas

🚧 PROJECT UPDATE - I-20 REHAB - BOSSIER CITY 🚧

DOTD advises motorists that as the I-20 major rehabilitation project in Bossier City continues to transition into the final phase of construction (Phase 3), there will be a necessary traffic swap for the eastbound direction.

On the nights of Wednesday, February 5th and Thursday, February 6th, traffic will be swapped on I-20 eastbound from the outside travel lanes to the newly constructed inside lanes from the Red River Bridge (beginning lane closure area) to just east of Hamilton Road.

This swap will require intermittent full closures of I-20 eastbound beginning at 8:00 p.m. each night to allow the contractor to move the concrete barriers in order to begin the demolition and removal of the remaining outside lanes.
