Interstate 210 (I-210) in Louisiana, also known as the Lake Charles Bypass, is a 12.40-mile-long (19.96 km) bypass route in Lake Charles, in the southwestern part of the state.[1][2] As a bypass of I-10, both ends of I-210 meet with I-10.
The PU’s enhance the natural sustain of the guitar. I did have to lower the neck PU as much as possible in it’s slot, and raise the bridge PU as high as possible, to get the most even balance. With the neck PU wound at -10, maybe having the bridge at 5 would have been easier to even them out. Overall though, I’m very pleased with the results!
Route description[edit]
- In Ontario, for example, people can create social circles of up to 10 people without needing to physically distance. But the catch is that all 10 people need to commit to this one bubble and can't.
- Nine barges broke free and two of them, owned by Canal Barge of Louisiana, crashed into the I-10 bridge. Crews closed down traffic in both directions. READ MORE: I-10 closed after barges hit.
The western terminus connects with I-10 east of Sulphur, heading southeast as it bypasses central Lake Charles around the southside. A mile east of the western terminus, I-210 rises over the Israel LaFleur Bridge, one of the highest bridges in the Interstate Highway System, to pass over the Calcasieu Ship Channel. At the southeastern end of the bridge, the highway meets with exit 3, Prien Lake Road, eastbound. I-210 heads east through Lake Charles, turning 90 degrees at exit 8, LA 14/Gerstner Memorial Drive. The highway then heads north towards its eastern terminus with I-10 just east of Lake Charles. Though portions of the freeway run north-south, the entire route is signed east-west.
All of I-210 is included as part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[3]
History[edit]
I-210, including the Israel LaFleur Bridge, was constructed between its western terminus and Prien Lake Road circa 1963 to 1965.[4] Initially, the western terminus at I-10 consisted solely of eastbound entrance and westbound exit ramps. The eastern remainder of I-210 was built circa 1975 to 1976,[5] and westbound entrance/eastbound exit ramps were added to the western terminus in 1986.[6]
Much of the area surrounding I-210 in southern Lake Charles was developed prior to construction of the freeway. As a result, many homes and businesses in its path were demolished.
The freeway remained largely unchanged from its original configuration until 2005, when construction of the L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort resulted in the addition of a ramp linked to the Nelson Road interchange. Between 2013 and 2015, the Prien Lake Road interchange was rebuilt to allow access to the Golden Nugget Lake Charles.
During the planning phase of the freeway, it was known as the South City Bypass. Older signage (prior to the 2000s) referred to the road as the Lake Charles Loop.

The I-10 Bridge in Lake Charles is currently being inspected after the Isle of Capri riverboat casino barge got loose in the lake and lodged itself under the bridge. DOTD Secretary Shawn Wilson says they’re working to figure out if the collision did any structural damage.
“We will commence the bridge inspection process via drone, and contingent upon the chlorine incident that is ongoing in the vicinity of that bridge, we will then complete the inspection which requires inspectors to actually put eyes on the bridge and see that it is there,” says Wilson.
The bridge was already declared structurally deficient by the US Department of Transportation, a designation Louisiana DOTD disputed.
Governor Edwards says 2,100 people are currently being sheltered by the state, 1,900 of them in hotels and motels. Edwards says it is crucial that anyone needing housing stay out of congregate settings.
“We do have approximately 800 more under contract primarily in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans area, and if we need any more we will find the space,” says Edwards.
