Drove west past this today. Traffic was backed up for miles at a crawl this evening, eastbound. The hole is nearer to the east edge of the bridge.
DOTD Notices Hole on Bridge Deck of Atchafalaya Basin Bridge, Repairs Underway
ETA: realize this is probably not new news… but it looks like this route will incur delays until repairs are complete.

You should expect major delays on I-10 in South Louisiana while traveling through the state.
DOTD is reporting on social media that they are closing one lane, the right lane, on I-10 East on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge for repairs. The exact location for the repairs will be near Whiskey Bay.
According to their post on social media, crews noticed the damage while working on a separate project and now more repairs are set to begin on the bridge by November 20th.
Many will be using this route in the days ahead for holiday travels and you should plan to seek an alternate route as major delays are expected.
While repairs are underway on the bridge, DOTD says, "Oversized loads will not be permitted through the project area until the lane is reopened."

Just another of the 50 thousand or so of our bridges that are in shite shape.

I like it. It adds character like the bent and rusty crossbeams of the Lake Chuck I10 bridge.

My source in the DOTD is as disgusted as we are. The legislature recently decided not to fund the LC bridge replacement & other bridge repairs. Don’t like it? Vote out the incumbent idiots and get new blood in there. It sucks that our choices seem to only be less retarded and fully retarded because people either don’t show up for the primaries or push the button for the incumbent, then are surprised that we end up with shite like this time after time after time. Definition of insanity…

All the more reason for, if you absolutely have to take that route, drive as FAST AS YOU CAN, speed camera pics be damned! Go to court and bring this pic with you to justify going fast enough so that if a section of roadway crumbles just ahead of you, you’ll have enough speed to zoom over it before It crumbles and caves in. Can’t imagine being a truck driver pulling a 50 ton load over that shite knowing that this situation exists.

How long does it take to patch a 10x 10 hole?
