Reported Road Closures due to inclement weather as of 9:00 a.m.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that all state maintained roadways in East Baton Rouge Parish have been deemed impassable due to winter weather conditions.
There has been significant accumulation of sleet and ice on bridges, overpasses, and roadways resulting in travel conditions that are considered to be inadvisable. With additional winter precipitation expected to impact the roads over the next few days, DOTD is strongly urging motorists to avoid ALL unnecessary travel, including on interstates that remain open.
While routes have not been barricaded and marked as ‘CLOSED’, it is the intent of DOTD to warn motorists that roadway conditions have deteriorated and travel could be hazardous.
Beware of black ice - a thin, transparent layer of ice accumulation that can be visually hard to detect on bridges, overpasses, off-ramps and in shady spots. As always, DOTD reminds motorists to buckle up and refrain from distracted driving or driving under the influence.
--------------------------------------------------
Per LADOTD: I-110 - East Baton Rouge Parish
Per EBRP Traffic Control & City of Central: Central Thruway from Greenwell Springs Road to Choctaw Drive
Reminder: it is unsafe and unlawful to drive onto a closed road past a “road closed” barricade at any time for any reason.
This list is subject to ongoing change as weather conditions change and reports are updated by official sources.
Service Suspensions:
CATS suspending bus service until Tuesday, February 16th due to winter storm weather
Republic Services will suspend all residential garbage, trash, and recycling collection on Monday, February 15. Service will resume on the next regularly scheduled pickup day (Thursday or next Monday)
Please remain at home, if possible, while roads are icy. If you must travel, please drive with caution. Be aware that roadways may be affected by accumulations of ice, especially on elevated surfaces. Please be on the lookout for crews and their equipment.
