300-Plus Truck Drivers Ticketed in Interstate 20 Work Zone in Bossier City

Despite a ban on all 18-wheelers from driving through the interstate 20 construction zone in Bossier City – it’s still happening. That’s led to more than 300 citations being issued against those truck drivers. The ban was put into place in December after a large number of accidents which caused traffic jams and construction delays. that’s the word from Bossier City Spokesman Louis Johnson. “So far, a[n] 18 wheeler or for a commercial truck, you have literally less than six inches on either side. And so, you have absolutely minimal room for error. And not only do you have minimal space, but the area that you’re going to find in bad weather, when it’s raining, that small shoulder is going to be wet. It will be slippery, and often bordered by embankments. So, if you hit that area the truck will go down, slide, overturn, and we’ve had several of those things happen.”
