Two days after announcing next week's Interstate 10 single-lane closures, DOTD has canceled them for next Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Why? LSU's "inevitable victory" over Ole Miss.

"Due to increased traffic from LSU's inevitable victory on Saturday, September 29, we are cancelling the lane closure that evening. Geaux Tigers!" DOTD proclaimed in an updated press release Thursday night.
The Tigers are set to kick off at home against Ole Miss (2-1) at 8:15 p.m. that night. It will be the latest kickoff time so far this season for No. 6-ranked LSU (3-0, 1-0 SEC).
The now-canceled single-lane closure was set for eastbound Interstate 10 between Highland Road and La. 73 from 7 p.m. Saturday until 9 a.m. Sunday.
