According to DOTD, it looks like I10 is now open completely from Baton Rouge to Houston. Looks like only one lane closed now between Laffy and Jennings. Can anyone confirm?

By around lake Charles did she mean Iowa or Jennings? That's where it has been showing it was closed for days.

Probably so, she's sneaky like that

That's what was I heard. As of yesterday, at some point, I-10 from Crowly to Lake Charles eastbound was closed. Might be open now.

State Police Troop I and Troop D both reporting that I-10 is open from 165 to I-49. One lane closure near Crowley where there is still water on the road.

Bayou Fountain at Bluebonnet is definitely lower. Standing water over Bluebonnet near Burbank (between Albertson's and Walgreens) has also gone down a good bit (still some in the outside/right lanes, but not as much as there has been). The standing water between Bayou Fountain and Highland on Bluebonnet is pretty much gone from the lanes going TOWARDS Burbank. Still some in the outside (right) lane in the other direction - again, lower than it has been.

My employee is telling me that they are closing down I-10 again bc waters coming back up around highland. Please tell me this is a bad rumor!

I was in the area about an hour ago and water is definitely rising and beginning to creep up onto the shoulder around that dog leg right bend north of Prairieville. They were installing an aqua dam as of 8:30am.

Traffic was being detoured from the east up 165 to 190. Traffic from the west was being detoured at I-49 to 190.

As far as I know, with I-10 open, no. You could still take that route, but no need to.

Everywhere along 190 has been an absolute nightmare to drive with the interstate closed.
