I have a group leaving BR for Nola at 5:00 today- we have to get to the hotel on Poydras near the river. Which way would you go?

1. I-10 to Tchoup exit, turn on s. peters, then to Poydras?
2. Take Huey P bridge across the river and enter Nola from the westbank
3. Park at the airport and take a cab around the north side of the city and get dropped of as close as possible?

Same boat here. I feel like this will be a 2-3 hour trip

Prayers sent for the 18 wheeler that will be overturned in your path.

2 would be the easiest

Depending on where you are in BR but take Hwy 30 to Gonzales hit I10 there, then exit hwy 61 past sorrento and take that as far as you can to bypass most traffic.

And don't speed through St. Gabriel.

Helicopter is your best bet. If not, take 12 to Slidell and cross the Twin Span from 10 west bound.

Whoops!!! Game changing over turned 18 wheeler in another thread.

I-12 to the Northshore, then across the lake. Hell, worth a try.

Take 10 to Laplace to airline to Earhart to broad to Tulane. Boom less than 2 hours money.

I10 to 310 to Airline which eventually turns into Tulane. Take Tulane down and then follow the path of least resistance to your nearest parking destination.

Use google maps. The traffic integration they have done is pretty accurate

Get off I-10 at the 2nd Laplace exit. Take airline across the spillway and take the 310 to Hwy 90 East. Cross the CCC and you're there.

Good luck. My husband had to be downtown by 9 tonight. He left our house off of Highland Road at 4 pm!

Taking 3127 to 90 isn't a bad option for Mardi Gras. You cross over the Huey P Long bridge and get off on the first exit.
