Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced that I-10 from the Louisiana/Texas line through southwest Louisiana has been re-opened.
I-210 Bridge is shutdown completely, WB lanes of I-10 Bridge are closed, as well as several sections of interstate I-10. Get the latest road closures now
Now that I-10 has been shut down both Eastbound and Westbound at the Texas/Louisiana border we have learned some alternate routes for residents in Louisiana who just have to get into Texas.
It started with a two vehicle accident in the inside lane on I-10 westbound just west of Welch. It ended when another vehicle became involved and hit the driver (of one of the first vehicles.) The Lafayette man was pronounced dead on the scene.
