From Prairieville, planning on taking 12 to where it merges back with 10. How is I10 in MS and South AL? Anyone know if it is passable all the way through?

I also heard the tunnel may be flooded, any word on that?

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The Bankhead Tunnel reopened to traffic Thursday morning. The Alabama Department of Transportation shut down the road on Tuesday. The Causeway remains closed, because there is still water on the road. ALDOT will make a call when to open the Causeway back to traffic.

Interested in this as well, going to be headed to OB tomorrow morning from SWLA

The Bayway (i.e., I-10) is completely open.

neither tunnel is flooded. The Wallace tunnel on 1-10 never closed during the storm.

The Bankhead Tunnel did but only because the causeway has been closed for a few days. They were saying on the news that they expect it to be reopened somtime this afternoon but I-10 is open so it shouldn't matter.
