This on Friday afternoon, crews put the truck upright. The original plan was to remove it on Monday, but the DOTD says it received all the necessary materials earlier than expected, so the Carrollton ramp is now open.

La. DOTD collects data with traffic count devices
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — If you're wondering what the devices on the street signs next to various local roads are, they are not traffic cameras, but 'traffic count devices' being temporarily installed in several parishes across northwest Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) posted via social media on Thursday, June 5, that the traffic count devices are for 'data collection.' The DOTD states that traffic count devices are being installed in Caddo, Sabine, St. John, St. Martin, and Red River parishes. When is I-20 reopening in Bossier City? 'These devices are used to collect valuable information on traffic volumes, vehicle types, and roadway usage patterns. The data supports future decisions related to transportation planning, infrastructure improvements, and maintenance priorities,' posted DOTD. 'The equipment is non-invasive and does not pose a risk to the public or vehicles. Typically, traffic counters appear as small electronic devices placed near street signs or along the right-of-way. DOTD asks the public not to tamper with or remove the devices to ensure accurate data collection.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

When is I-20 reopening in Bossier City?
BOSSIER CITY, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Two additional ramps have reopened as part of the ongoing I-20 major rehabilitation project in Bossier City, stated the Louisiana Department of Transportation (DOTD). Both the at the LA 782-2 (Industrial Drive) interchange are now open to traffic following a full reconstruction. 'This reopening now means the entire interchange is fully open to traffic,' says the DOTD. They also note that, beginning Monday, June 9, 2025, the westbound on and off-ramps at Airline Drive will close. The eastbound on and off-ramps were previously closed. Ex-Big Brother star, LSU alumnus seeks backing for Deaflympics journey 'These ramps will be fully rebuilt from the ground up in the same manner that the travel lanes on the interstate are being reconstructed as part of this project, which stretches from near Hamilton Road to Industrial Drive.' They say 'the entire project remains on track to be completed in late 2025/early 2026, weather and other factors permitting.' As a reminder, commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) are prohibited from driving through the I-20 work zone due to narrow lane widths and are required to utilize the primary detour of I-220. They encourage residents to stay updated on the I-20 major rehabilitation project. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
