A vital interchange that links Interstate 49 to I-220 is nearing completion in Louisiana, marking the penultimate piece of the state’s 36-mile Interstate 49 North project. The $670-million corridor extends from I-220 in Shreveport to the Arkansas state line.
Work is 85% complete on the $225-million interchange, where the project team has had to contend with delays from historically high river flooding, tight deadlines for federal funding and a design that calls for precast segments and architectural features.
