KENNER, La. — The long-awaited, new I-10 west flyover ramp to Armstrong International Airport is set to open Friday, DOTD officials said on Tuesday.
The ramp is part of the $125.6 million I-10/Loyola Drive Interchange Project which started in 2020.
"Opening this ramp with direct access to the airport is a great accomplishment and will be helpful to many travelers of this corridor, both going to the airport and everyday users," A DOTD representative said on Tuesday. "We look forward to opening the second ramp in the near future."
DOTD officials said that the next step will be a second flyover ramp, "which will allow exiting airport vehicles to merge directly onto I-10 east toward New Orleans."
The full project has been projected to finish next year.
