Not sure exactly what they are doing, but they are NOT adding any lanes or replacing existing bridges.

Work on the I-20 rebuild through western Bossier city begins next month. It also explains exactly what they are going to do.

From the bridge to LA-3 Looks like it’s 3 lanes each way with aux lanes for a road that handles 70-100k vehicles per day that sounds fairly sufficient. Still, I’d add a lane for any future growth to stay ahead of the curve. It drops off to two lanes after that and you think they’d widen it to 3 lanes each way to I-220.
The Red River Bridge and the section through Downtown Shreveport really need to be next on the radar for reconstruction, expansion, and modernization. Won’t come cheap though and it doesn’t appear LADOT has this project on their list as they have other more pressing priorities.

Yeah, but.. The I-20 bridges may be the 3rd priority for Red River Bridges in metro Shreveport Bossier.
