LAFAYETTE - I-10 East is closed off in Lafayette after a trucker hit the underside of a bridge Tuesday afternoon.

The crash happened at the I-10 overpass on Evangeline Thruway. Pictures shared by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development showed the wreck left part of the bridge's frame exposed. 

If you are traveling eastbound on I-10 thru Lafayette, and you are west of I-49, please expect detours and delays. Here’s why???? pic.twitter.com/IVp7LT5GDN

The eastbound side of the interstate is currently closed west of I-49. It's not clear when the road might reopen.
