==Route description==
From [[Texas]] to [[Lafayette (LA)|Lafayette]], I-10 parallels the older [[U.S. Highway 90 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 90]] corridor. From Lafayette, the highway heads east-northeast toward Baton Rouge via the '''Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway''', an 18.2-mile (nearly 30 km) bridge across the [[Atchafalaya Basin|Atchafalaya River and its accompanying swamp]]. Between the two cities, I-10 parallels [[U.S. Highway 190 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 190]], which runs from [[Opelousas, Louisiana|Opelousas]] to Baton Rouge.
{{Unsourced section|date=December 2023}}
I-10 enters Louisiana at the state's southwestern corner from [[Orange, Texas|Orange]], [[Texas]], in a concurrency with [[U.S. Route 90 in Louisiana|US Route&nbsp;90]] (US&nbsp;90), which leaves the freeway at the first exit. The two routes closely parallel each other through much of the state. The first community I-10 approaches in the state is [[Vinton, Louisiana]]. Between [[Sulphur, Louisiana|Sulphur]] and [[Lake Charles, Louisiana|Lake Charles]] there is an interchange with [[Interstate 210 (Louisiana)|I-210]]. I-10 crosses the [[Calcasieu River Bridge]] into Lake Charles, passing north of the center of town, before meeting the western end of I-210. Between Lake Charles and [[Lafayette, Louisiana|Lafayette]], I-10 bypasses several small towns including [[Iowa, Louisiana|Iowa]], [[Welsh, Louisiana|Welsh]], [[Jennings, Louisiana|Jennings]], and [[Crowley, Louisiana|Crowley]]. In Lafayette, I-10 meets the current southern terminus of [[Interstate 49 in Louisiana|I-49]], leaving northwest out of the city and passing by the community of [[Breaux Bridge, Louisiana|Breaux Bridge]].
 
From Lafayette, the highway heads east-northeast toward Baton Rouge via the [[Atchafalaya Basin Bridge|Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway]], an {{convert|18.2|mi|km|adj=on}} bridge across the [[Atchafalaya Basin|Atchafalaya River and its accompanying swamp]]. Between the two cities, I-10 parallels [[U.S. Route 190|US&nbsp;190]], from [[Opelousas, Louisiana|Opelousas]] to Baton Rouge. This route has signs and is designated as an alternate I-10 bypass that runs from I-10/I-49 north to US&nbsp;190 (exit&nbsp;19B at Opelousas) then east across to Baton Rouge and back down to I-10 via I-110 south. Traffic can be diverted both ways along this route should there be the necessity to close I-10 across the Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway and is also used as a hurricane evacuation route.
In the Capital City, U.S. 190 continues east alongside [[Interstate 12]] to [[Hammond, Louisiana|Hammond]] and [[Slidell, Louisiana|Slidell]] while I-10 turns southeastward and parallels [[U.S. Highway 61 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 61]] ([[Airline Highway]]) to [[New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans]]. In the Crescent City, I-10 rejoins [[U.S. Highway 90 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 90]] (and later [[U.S. Highway 11 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 11]]) as it heads toward [[Slidell (LA)|Slidell]]. In Slidell, U.S. 11 continues northeastward toward [[Hattiesburg, Mississippi]] while I-10 and U.S. 90 turn eastward toward coastal [[Mississippi]].
 
[[File:The I-10, running west of New Orleans.jpg|thumb|left|I-10 running west of New Orleans, spanning the Bonnet Carre Spillway at Lake Pontchartrain]]
Major bridges on I-10 in Louisiana include the [[Interstate 10 bridge (Sabine River)|Sabine River bridge]] (ca. 1952), the [[Calcasieu River Bridge]] (1952), the Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway (1973), the [[Horace Wilkinson Bridge]] over the [[Mississippi River]] (1968), the [[Bonnet Carré Spillway]] bridge (ca. 1972), the [[I-10 High Rise Bridge|Industrial Canal Bridge]] (ca. 1960), [[I-10 Twin Span Bridge|the Twin Spans]] (ca. 1963), and the [[Interstate 10 bridge (Pearl River)|Pearl River bridge]] (ca. 1970).
In the capital of Baton Rouge, US&nbsp;190 continues east alongside [[Interstate 12|I-12]] to [[Hammond, Louisiana|Hammond]] and [[Slidell, Louisiana|Slidell]] while I-10 turns southeastward and parallels [[U.S. Route 61|US&nbsp;61]] ([[Airline Highway]]) to [[New Orleans]]. In the Crescent City, I-10 rejoins US&nbsp;90 (and later [[U.S. Route 11 in Louisiana|US&nbsp;11]]) as it heads toward [[Slidell, Louisiana|Slidell]]. In Slidell, US&nbsp;11 continues northeastward toward [[Hattiesburg, Mississippi]] while I-10 and US&nbsp;90 turn eastward toward coastal [[Mississippi]].
 
Major bridges on I-10 in Louisiana include the [[Interstate 10 bridge (Sabine River)|Sabine River Bridge]] (c. 1952, replaced 2003), the [[Lake Charles I-10 Bridge]] (1952), the Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway (1973), the [[Horace Wilkinson Bridge]] over the [[Mississippi River]] (1968), the [[I-10 Bonnet Carré Spillway Bridge|Bonnet Carré Spillway Bridge]] (c. 1972), the [[I-10 High Rise Bridge|Industrial Canal Bridge]] (c. 1960), [[I-10 Twin Span Bridge|Frank Davis "Naturally N'Awlins" Memorial Bridge]] (1965, replaced 2010), and the [[Interstate 10 bridge (Pearl River)|Pearl River Bridge]] (c. 1970).

==Auxiliary routes==
*[[Image:I-110.svg|25 px]] [[Interstate 110 (Louisiana)|Interstate 110]] is a spur northward through downtown [[Baton Rouge (LA)|Baton Rouge]] toward the northern part of the city. It was not in the original plans, but was added in the 1960s to replace the cancelled [[Interstate 410 (Louisiana 1955)|Interstate 410]].
*[[Image:I-210.svg|25 px]] [[Interstate 210 (Louisiana)|Interstate 210]] is a bypass around the south side of [[Lake Charles (LA)|Lake Charles]]. It was added in September [[1955]].<ref name="1955 Interstates">[[:Image:Interstate Highway plan September 1955.jpg|Interstate System urban routes designated in September 1955]]</ref>
*[[Image:I-310.svg|25 px]] [[Interstate 310 (Louisiana)|Interstate 310]] is a spur from I-10 west of [[New Orleans (LA)|New Orleans]] south to [[U.S. Highway 90 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 90]] (future [[Interstate 49 (Louisiana)|Interstate 49]]). It was part of a longer [[Interstate 410 (Louisiana 1969)|Interstate 410]] from 1969 to 1977.<ref name="I-310">Richard F. Weingroff, [http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/neworleans.htm The Second Battle of New Orleans - Vieux Carré Riverfront Expressway (I-310)]</ref>
*A previous [[Interstate 310 (1964)|Interstate 310]] was added in 1964 and cancelled in 1969. It would have run from I-10 east of downtown New Orleans south and southwest through the [[French Quarter]] to the [[Greater New Orleans Bridge]].<ref name="I-310"/>
*The first [[Interstate 410 (Louisiana 1955)|Interstate 410]] was a northern bypass of [[Baton Rouge (LA)|Baton Rouge]] along the [[Airline Highway]] ([[U.S. Highway 61 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 61]]/[[U.S. Highway 190 (Louisiana)|190]]) corridor. It was added in September [[1955]]<ref name="1955 Interstates"/> and removed by the late 1960s.
*The second [[Interstate 410 (Louisiana 1969)|Interstate 410]] was defined in 1969 as a southern bypass of New Orleans, as a sort of replacement for the cancelled [[Interstate 310 (1964)|Interstate 310]]. The southern section of I-410 was cancelled in 1977, and the west and east legs became [[Interstate 310 (Louisiana)|Interstate 310]] and [[Interstate 510 (Louisiana)|Interstate 510]], respectively.<ref name="I-310"/>
*[[Image:I-510.svg|25 px]] [[Interstate 510 (Louisiana)|Interstate 510]] is a spur from I-10 in eastern New Orleans south to the [[Green Bridge|Paris Road Bridge]] over the [[Gulf Intracoastal Waterway]]/([[Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal]]). It was part of a longer [[Interstate 410 (Louisiana 1969)|Interstate 410]] from 1969 to 1977.<ref name="I-310"/>
*[[Image:I-610.svg|25 px]] [[Interstate 610 (Louisiana)|Interstate 610]] is a bypass for through traffic north of downtown New Orleans. It was added in September [[1955]].<ref name="1955 Interstates"/>
*[[Image:I-910.svg|25 px]] [[Interstate 910 (Louisiana)|Interstate 910]] is a piece of future [[Interstate 49 (Louisiana)|Interstate 49]] from downtown New Orleans south and west to [[Marrero (LA)|Marrero]]. The temporary designation was assigned by the [[Federal Highway Administration]] and [[American Association of State Highway Officials]] in 1999, but is not signed and has not been accepted by the [[Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development]].

[[Image:Interstate 10 eastbound over Lake Charles (LA).jpg|thumb|400px|right|Interstate 10 eastbound passing over [[Lake Charles (body of water)|Lake Charles]]/[[Calcasieu River]] near Lake Charles.]]
By the beginning of planning for the [[Interstate Highway System]] in 1939 (then called the Interregional Highway System), the [[Houston (TX)|Houston]]-[[New–New Orleans (LA)|New Orleans]]-Orleans–[[Mobile, (AL)Alabama|Mobile]] corridor was part of the system. Preliminary plans took it along [[U.S. Highway US&nbsp;90 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 90]] all the way through Louisiana, serving [[Lake Charles (LA)|Lake Charles]] and [[Lafayette (LA)|Lafayette]] but not [[Baton Rouge (LA)|Baton Rouge]].<ref name="1939 Interstates">[[:Image:Interregional{{cite Highwaymap plan|author 1939= Bureau of Public Roads |author-link = Bureau of Public Roads |url = https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interregional_Highway_plan_1939.jpg |title = Proposed Interregional Highway System |year = 1939 |scale = Scale not given |___location = Washington, DC |publisher = Bureau of Public Roads |access-date = August 15, 2012 |via = [[Wikimedia Commons]] |archive-date = January 2, 19392016 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160102173240/https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interregional_Highway_plan_1939.jpg |url-status = live }}</ref> By cac. 1943, it had been shifted to the north west of New Orleans, using the [[Louisiana Highway 12|Louisiana Highway&nbsp;12]], [[U.S. Highway 190 (LouisianaLA&nbsp;12)|U.S. Highway, US&nbsp;190]], and [[U.S. Highway US&nbsp;61 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 61]] corridors, and serving Baton Rouge but not Lake Charles or Lafayette.<ref name="1943 Interstates">[[:Image:Interregional{{cite Highwaymap plan|author ca= 1943Bureau of Public Roads |url = https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interregional_Highway_plan_ca_1943.jpg |title = Routes of the Recommended Interregional Highway System]], ca|year = c. 1943 |scale = Scale not given |___location = Washington, DC |publisher = Bureau of Public Roads |access-date = August 15, 2012 |via = Wikimedia Commons |archive-date = January 30, 2016 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160130235654/https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interregional_Highway_plan_ca_1943.jpg |url-status = live }}</ref> The 1947 plan shifted it to roughly the current alignment, including the long stretch of new corridor across the [[Atchafalaya Swamp]].<ref name="1947 Interstates">[[:Image:Interstate{{cite Highwaymap plan|author August= 2,Public 1947Roads bigAdministration text|author-link = Public Roads Administration |url = https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interstate_Highway_plan_August_2,_1947_big_text.jpg |title = National System of Interstate Highways]], [[|date = August 2]], [[1947]] |scale = Scale not given |___location = Washington, DC |publisher = Public Roads Administration |access-date = August 15, 2012 |via = Wikimedia Commons }}</ref> The corridor was assigned the Interstate I-10 designation in mid-1957.<ref name="August 1957 Interstates">[[:Image:Interstate{{cite Highwaymap plan|author August= 14,Public 1957Roads Administration |url = https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interstate_Highway_plan_August_14,_1957.jpg |title = Official Route Numbering for the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways]], [[|date = August 14]], [[1957]] |scale = Scale not given |___location = Washington, DC |publisher = Public Roads Administration |access-date = August 15, 2012 |via = Wikimedia Commons |archive-date = July 19, 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170719213034/https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interstate_Highway_plan_August_14,_1957.jpg |url-status = live }}</ref>
 
Prior to the gaining of federal funding for the Interstate System in the late 1950s, a [[toll road]] -, the [[Acadian Thruway]] -, had been proposed between [[Lafayette (LA)|Lafayette]] and a point near [[Gramercy, (LA)Louisiana|Gramercy]] on the [[Airline Highway]] ([[U.S. Highway US&nbsp;61 (Louisiana)|U.S. Highway 61]]). This would have provided a shorter route than I-10, bypassing Baton Rouge to the south. The [[Gramercy Bridge]] was later built along its planned alignment, with [[Louisiana Highway 3125|LA&nbsp;3125]] connecting to Gramercy, but no road extends west from the bridge across the [[Atchafalaya Swamp]] to Lafayette.

Construction of the Interstate Highway System in Louisiana began in 1957.<ref name="S-T 8-7-57">{{cite news |title = Federal funds for roads |newspaper = State-Times |___location = Baton Rouge |date = August 7, 1957 |page = 8A }}</ref> Early I-10 contracts were done under the route designation LA&nbsp;3027. Much of the early construction on the I-10 corridor was concentrated on relieving traffic problems in urban centers. Several such projects were already underway and were incorporated into the route of I-10 during construction, such as the [[Pontchartrain Expressway]] in New Orleans. In addition, the two major bridges on the route in [[Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana|Calcasieu Parish]] between the Texas state line and Lake Charles were built for US&nbsp;90 in the early 1950s and retrofitted for I-10 traffic. Sections of I-10 through rural areas and/or those sections already served adequately by existing highways, such as Airline Highway (US&nbsp;61) between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, were constructed later in the program. By the spring of 1975, the entire route of I-10 had been opened across Louisiana except for a problem {{convert|5.5|mi|km|adj=on}} section between [[Gonzales, Louisiana|Gonzales]] and [[Sorrento, Louisiana|Sorrento]] that was not completed for another three years.
The Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway opened in March [[1973]].<ref>Richard F. Weingroff, [http://www.tfhrc.gov/pubrds/summer96/p96su28.htm Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways - Engineering Marvels]</ref>

Reconstruction of the portion at the I-610 Split vicinity was undertaken in the late 1990s. Also in the late 1990s, further work was done on the expressway as two ramps were constructed, connecting West I-10 to West Business U.S. 90 and westbound Claiborne Avenue (West US 90), replacing an earlier, more dangerous ramp. The direct ramp from 90B East to I-10 East was completed by 1989.<ref name="T-P 3-8-89">{{cite news |last=Philbin |first=Walt |title=I-10's Deadly Ramps a Worry from the Start |newspaper=The Times-Picayune |issn=1055-3053 |___location=New Orleans |date=March 8, 1989 |page=A1}}</ref>
 
In the aftermath of [[Hurricane Katrina]], the I-10 Twin Span Bridge, a portion of I-10 between New Orleans and Slidell, spanning the eastern end of Lake Pontchartrain, was severely damaged, causing a break in I-10 at that point. Unlike the [[Escambia Bay Bridge]] (east of [[Pensacola, Florida|Pensacola]], [[Florida]] and damaged by [[Hurricane Ivan]]), which is a major artery, I-12 is available to bypass New Orleans. Taking I-12 to the [[Lake Pontchartrain Causeway]] allowed entry and exit to and from the [[Greater New Orleans]] area from the East. On October 14, 2005, at 3:00&nbsp;pm, the eastbound span was reopened to two way traffic. On January 6, 2006, at 6:00&nbsp;am, both lanes of the westbound span were reopened to traffic using temporary metal trusses and road panels to replace damaged sections.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://public.fotki.com/apjung/roadgeeking/hurricane_katrina/6/ |title = 6 album &#124; Andy's Category 6 (& more) Photo Gallery &#124; Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy |publisher = Public.fotki.com |date = July 13, 2005 |access-date = September 19, 2011 |archive-date = October 14, 2012 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121014102025/http://public.fotki.com/apjung/roadgeeking/hurricane_katrina/6/ |url-status = live }}{{self-published inline|certain=yes|date=March 2023}}</ref>{{unreliable source?|failed=y|date= August 2012}} This restored all four lanes of the I-10 Twin Span for normal traffic with a {{convert|45|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} speed limit for the westbound lanes and {{convert|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} for the eastbound lanes.

There are calls to remove I-10 from the Claiborne Expressway in New Orleans and rename [[Interstate 610 (Louisiana)|I-610]] to I-10.

In 2022, the Calcasieu River Bridge turned 70 years old. With over 600,000 bridges, the average bridge age in the United States is 42 years old, with one in nine rated as deficient.

** A previous [[Interstate 310 (1964)|I-310]] was added in 1964 and canceled in 1969. It would have run from I-10 east of downtown New Orleans south and southwest through the [[French Quarter]] to the [[Greater New Orleans Bridge]].<ref name="I-310"/>
* The first [[Interstate 410 (Louisiana 1955)|I-410]] was a northern bypass of [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana|Baton Rouge]] along the [[Airline Highway]] ([[U.S. Highway 61 (Louisiana)|US&nbsp;61]]/[[U.S. Highway 190 (Louisiana)|US&nbsp;190]]) corridor. It was added in September 1955<ref name="1955 Interstates"/> and removed by the late 1960s.
** The second [[Interstate 410 (Louisiana 1969)|I-410]] was defined in 1969 as a southern bypass of New Orleans, as a sort of replacement for the canceled [[Interstate 310 (1964)|I-310]]. The southern section of I-410 was canceled in 1977, and the west and east legs became [[Interstate 310 (Louisiana)|I-310]] and [[Interstate 510 (Louisiana)|I-510]], respectively.<ref name="I-310"/>
* [[Interstate 510 (Louisiana)|I-510]] is a spur from I-10 in eastern New Orleans south to the [[Green Bridge (New Orleans)|Paris Road Bridge]] over the [[Gulf Intracoastal Waterway]] ([[Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal]]).

The temporary designation was assigned by the [[Federal Highway Administration]] and [[American Association of State Highway Officials]] in 1999, but is not signed and has not been accepted by the [[Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development]].
