I10 closing at TX and LA line

[Sackett]

I would've thought with 3 days heads up tx dot could've hauled in sand and clay to keep the water off the road way. I don't think it's more than a few miles that would have needed it but I guess they decided that wouldn't work.

Not even close to a reasonable amount of time to effectively keep water off I-10. You're talking about spending some serious money to build a "levee" for a 2-3 day event. Sometimes you have to let mother nature run its course and realize we can't control her.

This could be really bad for my line of work.

local news station says it will be closed starting at 0900 this morning.

Hopefully it won't stay closed for long. Bad thing is, DOT will likely look at raising the road. With huge rain events becoming more common, it's bound to happen again. The White and Cache got over Interstate 40 up here a few years ago and it prompted a multi-year project to raise the roadbed. Huge headache.

Thats crazy to think you have to detour to I-20.

Can take 103 just north of Hemphill

We "had" a load to deliver to Tony Chachere's today, it is on hold for now. He made the KFDM slideshow yesterday. (yellow truck with tank)

[Man]

I would hate to be stuck in that cluster farm

This should make my afternoon commute from Beaumont to Lumberton pleasant!


Does anyone know if 82 through Johnsons Bayou/Holly Beach is clear? In-laws were planning to head to the fish camp in Hackberry tomorrow and I am assuming I-10 will still be closed.

WOW, that's a LOT of water!!! And that I-20 detour, that ain't like takin' the beltway instead of loop 610 in Houston! If you're coming from Lafayette goin' to Houston, that's a 200+mile detour!! Good Grief!

[bowhuntertex]

Sure hope it is opened back up by this coming Monday. I get into to Houma, LA from teh barge and will be headed home to Wimberley a week from today.

There was water for miles on 10, could see it standing in the fields and roadside for 10-20 miles before the bridge on Sunday

My wife and some of her friends left yesterday evening from casino's headed back to corpus. Looks like they left just in time!

[txdukklr]

I'm sending a friend down 27 in sulphur through holly beach up 82.

I'm assuming it'll be fine jumping across the causway at sabine.
