WBRZ - Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE - A section of I-10 will close for eight hours as crews lay asphalt and continue the widening.

The westbound ramp that connects I-10 to I-12 will be shut down from 9pm, Monday to 5am Tuesday. The Geaux Wider team expects the construction to take the entire alloted time and even force another closure later in the week.

We'll have more on potential detours and a recap of the widening project today on News 2 at 5pm.
