Reports of the expansion joints buckling, but looks like it will be closed for a while, traffic already backed up over 3 miles!!

Take 2-10 if at all possible


ETA: repairs complete and bridge in process of being opened back up as of 8pm per American press

Even after all these years, I’m terrified of driving over both of those bridges

Yikes. That's going to affect things. Lord imagine how much it must suck to be literally on the bridge when they stop traffic. What are they going to do, reverse down?

Imagine being an 18 wheeler doing that

I think there were several on the incline in the pic from kplc, they are pros and can handle it. 210 E is going to suck for a while.

So we have construction between Winne & Beaumont, construction on both sides of the Sabine River, a rickety bridge in Lake Charles, the wreck-prone Atchafalaya Basin bridge, and the glorious Mississippi River bridge traffic.

Is I-10 between Houston and Baton Rouge the worst stretch of highway in the country?

I'm so glad I don't have to take the interstate much. I don't even go to Sulphur City Court in part due to avoiding I10 E.

It has to be. I’ve gotten to where I just would rather fly than drive to Houston from Nola

Also, why is traffic allowed to continue on the Westbound side if the bridge is under emergency repairs?

Looks like Hwy 12 down to 90 for the drive home.
