As more snow and ice fell across the region overnight, driving conditions deteriorated even more. Part of I-20 in the Ark-La-Tex is now closed.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has shut down I-20 eastbound from the Industrial Drive exit to the Goodwill Road exit in Bossier Parish and I-20 eastbound in Webster Parishes is also closed due to winter weather and freezing conditions.
There is no estimated time of getting the interstate back open. DOTD will send out information when it is back open to traffic.
DOTD Secretary Dr. Shawn Wilson is urging motorists to avoid ALL unnecessary travel. He says the conditions are very poor and you could be putting yourself in jeopardy.

State Police are urging people to stay off the roads as they work an I-10 East crash that will close a portion of the roadway for most of the day.
According to Louisiana State Police, I-10 East at Hwy 61 (Airline Hwy) is currently closed due to a crash.
Significant accumulation of sleet and ice on bridges, overpasses, and roadways have resulted in travel conditions that DOTD strongly considers to be inadvisable.

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) The onset of cold, wintry weather is impacting the ArkLaTex.
The likelihood of wet roads and temperatures hovering around freezing make highways like I-49 dangerous.
“There are multiple bridges and overpasses along that section of I-49, so that will be the reason for necessitating a closure,” said Erin Buchanan, a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD).
