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).
