Officials warns drivers of pavement buckling as extreme heat persists
(The Center Square) – After extreme heat buckled a section of Interstate 49 in Shreveport on Tuesday, Louisiana transportation officials are warning drivers to watch for sudden pavement failures as high temperatures continue through next week. Roadway buckling typically appears as sudden pavement heaves, major cracks and lifted concrete slabs. Extreme heat buckled a section of Interstate 49 for part of Tuesday, closing the major roadway, which connects Louisiana to Arkansas. Standby crews were able to make repairs and get it reopened the same day, said Erin Buchanan, a public information officer for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. “Periods of extreme heat can cause concrete pavement to expand, resulting in buckling at the roadway joints that can occur quickly and without warning,” according to a DOTD statement. All southbound lanes of I-49 just north of the Martin Luther King Drive interchange in Shreveport were affected by the closure. Traffic was detoured off the interstate at North Market Street. “We mobilized immediately, because these are not the types of things that we can put off for the next day,” Buchanan said. “We ask that people report it to us and don’t assume some else has.” A westbound I-20 on-ramp
