Just made it to BR, I-10 no issues west bound from mobile, I-12 down to one lane in several places due to trees in the road but they are actively removing them, cell service spottty with Verizon and Xfinity and no gas options so far but travel is possible


Good to hear. Trying to get from Florida to my parents house in BR who have a whole home generator and then hopefully go check on our house in Old Metairie.

I10W was all closed for me this morning around 11. Cops made you get off at Williams/Veterans. Took 90 to Lafayette with no issues, trying to find gas to make it to BR

Is Lafayette to Mobile tomorrow doable on I-10/I-12/I-10?

Asking for a friend, literally.

TIA, Cref

21 to 41, I-59 to I-10? Very surprised 21 and 41 are passable.

Poster in the sticky thread said you exit i10 east near Sorrento to Airline (hwy 61) and take that all the way to Kenner. Google maps confirms this. Also heard Highway 90 from Lafayette to New Orleans is open.

I’ll reiterate what I’m hearing and what Imaps and Google Maps is saying.

You can get from Kenner to Gulf Shores on I10 no issues.

You can take I90 from Lafayette to Kenner no problem.

If you want to take I10 from BR to Kenner you can take it until you get to Sorrento exit then you gotta go Airline to 310 or stay on Airline till you get to Kenner. Basically stay away of Laplace, it’s flooded.

From family there: Water is working. Power is down. Gas is working. Cell service is basically nonexistent for ATT. Spotty at best for Verizon. Jefferson Parish has an evening to dawn Curfew. Gretna Police are doing a good job patrolling.

This makes no sense. Airline goes through the middle of LaPlace.

Anyone know a reason why I couldn’t drive from Lafayette to Bay St Louis tonight taking 10 to BR snd then 12 back to 10 to Mississippi?

Roads look clear just wanted to see if anyone’s encountered road blocks or anything. Thanks.
