Louisiana roads now rank 40th in the United States. In 2011 the state was ranked 21st. The drop in the states ranking is said to be due to a drop in maintenance spending for the states roads.
It was 2 o’clock in the morning when a car went speeding past a Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s deputy on Interstate 10 about two miles west of Sulphur. At first, maybe it looked like a typical late night speeder, but according to the CPSO, nothing about this traffic violation was normal.
Here is a traffic update for you that use the I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge for your commutes.
The Lake Charles Police Department is reporting that the bridge will be closed the next two nights and that traffic will be directed to detour at I-210. Here is the times and dates the bridge will be closed.
In an effort to help with the flow of traffic on I-10 especially around the I-10 bridge, 18 wheelers were suppose to take the I-210 route per law enforcement.
Well, standing outside of the radio station today I saw some 18 wheelers that did not listen to the warning and were rewarded with a ticket from the Louisiana State Police.
For all you folks who use the I-10 Bridge Eastbound to commute to work be aware that one lane of the bridge will be closed Thursday and Friday. Here is the latest on the construction and lane closure for the bridge.
The Louisiana State Police made a major drug bust on interstate I-1o this morning. Trooper James Anderson has released the follow statement and photos from the arrest.
