road closure

State Police say confusing social media posts have created a lot of concerns about closing roads and the state border.

The official detour is I-49 North to Opelousas and then US 190 East to Baton Rouge.

Growing pains are never easy, but the benefits to be reaped after the inconvenience are well worth the wait. Right? (Kaliste Saloom Rd, I'm referring to you!)

Following the heavy rains from thunderstorms Thursday morning, the following roads are closed and will reopen as soon as conditions improve.

I-10 in BOTH DIRECTIONS on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge from MM 136 (Ramah) to MM 140 (Grosse Tete) will have alternating lane and shoulder closures.

DOTD officials will be closing the I-10 WESTBOUND Off Ramp at the Ambassador Caffery Parkway exit on Thursday night at 10 PM.

There is not yet word on when the area might open up.

US 90 WESTBOUND (right lane) between Ambassador Caffery Parkway and the LA 182 overpass will be closed Wednesday night from 8 PM until 6 AM

Interstate 10 eastbound is closed at the I-49 interchange due to a multi-vehicle crash the Louisiana Avenue exit.

Because of sewer infrastructure repairs, Lafayette Street between W. Main Street and W. Convent Street will be closed on Wednesday night. This will last from 5 PM to 10 PM.
