LaDOTD: Road closures due to wintry weather (Source: KEYC News Now, File) By Kaitlyn Gibson | January 10, 2021 at 1:48 PM CST - Updated January 11 at 3:20 PM
(KSLA) The snowfall has come to an end and the snow has begun thawing, so authorities are reopening some roadways.
However, the threat of wet roads refreezing remains. So motorists continue to be cautioned to look out for potentially hazardous conditions, such as black ice, particularly on elevated services.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) began pre-emptive road and bridge closures Sunday, Jan. 10 at 6 p.m. Crews treated overpasses and bridges with salt and/or sand to deter icy driving conditions.
