A recent video capturing the icy and snow-covered conditions on I-49 in North Louisiana serves as an important reminder of the importance of heeding state officials' advice to avoid traveling during icy or snowy conditions. Not only do we have less experience driving in these icy conditions we also do not drive vehicles with the proper snow tires making traveling during this time extremely dangerous.
Louisiana's DOTD has authorized an extension for the public/private partnership that wants to build a new I-10 bridge over the Calcasieu River in Lake Charles.
