Anyone know how soon I-10 will be cleared in Laplace?

What about hwy 90 near Avondale?

Might want to stick with I12 then the twin span.

I need to get from New Orleans to Baton Rouge and as far as I can find that's the only way open right now.

Someone said earlier that 90 is wide open. I take my private jet though.

HWY 90 is closed at the Jeff St Charles line

this is the diversion they are telling you to use to avoid Laplace

the dot map that is up with road closures doesnt say anything about luling being closed, just one of the exit ramps being closed..i was looking earlier to get down there and i would have to get off at gramercy airline 61 go over the bridge to 3127 then get 310 over luling bridge back to 10 to clearview parkway..thats the way im seeing??

Is I-55 North open?

I came into work this morning (taking I-55 south) with no problems. Now I'm hearing I-55 North is closed.

Also, anyone know when the Causeway will be open??

I'm in Metairie at work and need to get home to Hammond this evening.

TIA.

Awesome LE. Thanks for the info.

Not sure why I-55 North is still closed though...I made it through this AM with no problems.
