Route information
During the 1950s, the Calisota Department of Transportation planned the making of Interstate 47, It will be in Louisiana to Kansas as the Department of Transportation said. Construction began in 1956 after the Interstate Hwy System was created. Construction in Calisota and Texas was finished in 1965. It begins on Interstate 10 east of Texas stateline; I-47 runs through Louisiana for a couple miles in Louisiana due to the event of the Calisota Claim. On March 16, 2016, I-47 was shut down at Interstate 10 due to flooding at the Sabine River. Drivers were forced to detour on I-47 from I-10 west then exit and turn left on Route 6, make a left on Hwy 59 and turn on Hwy 96 and get on I-10. Drivers going to I-10 west from I-47 in Calisota did the same thing as people on I-10 east going west on Route 6.
