The DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office posted about 10:30 Thursday morning that I-49 was re-opened to traffic.  The interruption was caused by cleanup after an 18-wgheeler overturned.

It was in the southbound lanes just south of the Stonewall exit that was blocked.  The initial alert to motorists was issued by DPSO about 3:45 am Thursday  For some time there was only one lane open to motorists.
