NEW ORLEANS — Early morning fog and smoke from a marsh fire burning in New Orleans East is causing near-zero visibility on Interstate 10 between Irish Bayou and Michoud, traffic authorities report.
Authorities report at least four accidents that happened in the area due to poor visibility. I-10 is closed in both directions from Highway 11 to I-510.
Multiple accidents are reported which include an overturned 18-wheeler truck and at least one fatality.
Drivers are urged to avoid the Interstate and Highway 90 and take I-12 to the Causeway Bridge as an alternate route.
Super Fog was the cause of October's fatal multiple-vehicle crash on I-55.

I think it’s called smog not super fog.

I encountered the same thing a few weeks ago.

Not hyperbole when I say it was the lowest visibility conditions I have ever driven in.

Fog didn't close it, shitty impatient drivers did.

If anyone is headed East from the city, old Gentilly road was moving fairly well this morning.

If you’re coming from Slidell, Godspeed

I remember when we just had heavy fog. Sometimes with smoke from burning cane or marsh.

Never had “ super fog “. Just Superman.

190 S in Covington is a gridlock all the way back to Claiborne Hill. What a shite show. Stop collecting tolls and just let people through
