My son in Lake Charles, LA learned about this I-10 bridge closure in Baton Rouge from local television news. The big Mississippi River Bridge on Interstate 10 on the west side of Baton Rouge will be closed this weekend (June 1-3, 2018) for repairs. During the bridge closure, I-10 traffic will flow from Lafayette, LA north on I-49 to Opelousas, LA then use US 90 to Baton Rouge (the "old way" around the Atchafalaya Swamp). I-10 traffic is horrible any given weekend. Traffic this weekend along US 90 will be a nightmare (numerous stop lights in several small towns).
For those with travel plans between Houston and New Orleans/Biloxi the next few days, find a nice RV park/resort to spend this weekend, June 1-3, 2018 and avoid many frustrating hours in very hot weather is what is sure to be a massive traffic jam on US 90 between Lafayette and Baton Rouge.
