Just wanted to warn all you baws and bawettes who are planning on traveling East on I-10 towards Baton Rouge. This kind of stuff rarely happens.

I’m going Westbound. Looks like the problem spot was maybe a Mile East of the Whiskey Bay Pilot Channel. Traffic West of that stopped and folks standing outside.

I’m currently at the Butte Larose visitor’s center, and nothing Eastbound is moving at all.

Plan your travels accordingly.

Sad how people speed on the bridge and cause problems


The drone speed traps can’t come soon enough

I can’t believe the feds haven’t pushed at least adding new bridges over whiskey bay as part of accepting any highway construction funds. I guess there are wildlife habitat concerns or outdoorsman complaints.

The entire Atchafalaya Basin Bridge needs to have new lanes constructed and then let 18 wheelers use the old ones, but why hasn’t there been push to add more turnarounds and also pullover areas like what was added to causeway?

And if you believe that, I have a house for sale in Lakeview that didn’t get douched after Katrina.

18wheeler burned to the ground on the east bound side at around 9AM. Passed on west bound side while the fire dept was still hosing it down and traffic was already a cluster. Headed back now and Waze has me exiting at Cecilia. Will see what happens from there

Here's a first, I've never seen Google Maps show traffic congestion on the gravel levee road that runs from the Butte Larose visitors center all the way to 190 in Krotz Springs.

Louisiana must be the Bermuda Triangle for trucks lighting on fire on I-10 bridges. Is it all the POS headed to Mexico, most of which stall on the Baton Rouge Bridge?
