BATON ROUGE - A portion of Highland Road will be closed each night as crews continue work on an I-10 overpass.

DOTD says Highland road will be closed at the I-10 overpass from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning Sept. 16 and ending Sept. 30. The closure will allow crews to install steel girders at the overpass, which has been under construction for months.

Commuters may travel I-10 WB to Seigen Lane Interchange and I-10 EB to LA 73 Interchange as detour routes.

Similar closures occurred earlier this year when crews first replaced a section of the bridge.
