Governor Edwards and The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development released new details on the plan to build a new Calcasieu River bridge in Lake Charles.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is advising drivers to seek alternative routes after a crash shut down one westbound lane of the I-10 bridge.
The state has not formally asked for proposals, but businesses that want to build the I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge have provided letters of intent and are moving ahead to try to develop a winning project.
