Major Interstate, Highway Closures, Detours Begin Across Multiple States

Several major highway projects and closures are underway across the United States to improve infrastructure and accommodate construction work. California's Highway 41 will be closed for three days during daytime hours to complete a full-width connection at the Highway 41/46 interchange, as part of a widening project expected to finish by Spring 2026. In Louisiana, I-20 westbound at the I-220 interchange in Bossier City will be closed overnight for emergency guardrail repairs related to a $127 million rehabilitation project, with detours in place and the project on track to complete by late 2025 or early 2026. Wisconsin experienced a complete closure of I-39/90/94 westbound at U.S. Highway 151 due to an incident, causing significant delays before lanes reopened after two hours. Meanwhile, Kansas drivers should expect alternating lane closures on I-70 in Topeka for paving operations through October 31 as part of the $239 million Polk-Quincy Viaduct Project aimed at downtown improvements. These projects reflect ongoing efforts by state transportation departments to upgrade key highways and manage traffic disruptions with detours and advance notifications.
