Southeast Louisiana street closures because of snow, ice
Up to date: 7:08 AM CST Jan 23, 2025
Southeast Louisiana drivers are urged to remain off the roads for not less than yet another day because of treacherous circumstances from snow and ice. The Louisiana Division of Transportation and Security introduced that crews are prepositioned Thursday on precedence roads to proceed de-icing efforts. Temperatures are anticipated to rise Thursday, permitting a majority of the ice and snow to soften. DOTD is prioritizing the reopening of the Crescent Metropolis Connection and Huey P. Lengthy Bridge. The CCC will reopen as soon as floor streets to the bridge are in higher situation. One lane on either side of the Huey P. Lengthy Bridge is open, however drivers are urged to drive slowly.Crews who had been clearing roads in Southwest Louisiana are shifting focus to clearing the Interstate 10 hall. In keeping with DOTD, roads on the Northshore are in higher form, and most state highways will utterly reopen by the top of the day. DOTD expects many roads to be satisfactory by Thursday afternoon, with a tentative plan of most roads reopening by Friday morning. The DOTD asks residents to keep away from driving Thursday so crews can concentrate on clearing the roads. Those that must journey are urged to drive slowly.
