I enjoyed that video. Thanks for posting it!
I watched them build I-55 between Ponchatoula and Laplace the same exact way while driving daily on the old Hwy 51.

planning might have as to get the backing to build something to that extent could take a decade. But sont be retarded and think it was designed for 50's traffic. It has 11 foot lanes just like every interstate in the system.

Just passed the site. Not CLOSE to being cleared. Fire trucks still on scene.

They're blocked off so they can only be used for emergency situations, like access by emergency vehicles. The barriers swing open when needed.
Can you imagine the shite that would happen if they were open for people to make "u-turns"? You'd have to just park a crane on a barge next to each one to pick up the wrecks everyday.

Can someone chime in on what these new shoulder sections on the causeway stand to achieve and how that would support the basin bridge? Does seem silly that the basin crossovers are blocked off
Gives troubled vehicles a place to pull off so they aren't blocking a road lane.

Yet, the crossovers are used for u-turns on the Causeway, and we don't have those problems.

Interesting video. Thanks for the link.

Dunno. But this accident was close to a mile west of the Whiskey Bay Bridge. There is a full shoulder there and for some distance before the accident site.
My guess is that traffic was tight and a sudden squall blinded everyone. Even if everyone was paying attention (and that is not likely) bad things can happen in those circumstances.

As of 1:47, not close. Firetrucks still on scene. No chance they open it today.

I know the truck restrictions on the bridge, but they’re rarely followed.
They need to follow the restrictions.
55MPH and stay in the right lane. They can do that for 30 miles.
This is ridiculous

That only happens once you get close to the Maringouin exit coming east, or the Butte la Rose exit coming west.
You have to drive the Basin defensively. Stay right. Do not get boxed in by trucks. Be extremely careful on Whiskey Bay. Take 190 if you've got squalls moving around.
People fly around that bridge like bumper cars, trucks included.

with the amount of traffic on 190, speeding aint an option
Posted on 8/27/19 at 3:59 pm to JudgeHolden
drove by about an hour ago, its going to be awhile before this wreck cleaned up and interstate to reopen. Even with the devistation wreck yesterday there were still cars going 80-90mph headed east this afternoon.
Side note I left BR around 830 and was in Lafayette by 1015, 190 wasnt bad.

If you speed on 190 your car will explode between port barre and i49 from the road craters
