Breaking news from The Louisiana State Police. They have advised that the I-210 Bridge in Lake Charles is being shut down in both directions. The shutdown is due to the overwhelming amount of snow in the Southwest Louisiana area.

Officials have deemed that the bridge is not safe to travel over thus the shutdown. Matt Gasprad with the Louisiana State Police says that the I-210 bridge shutdown is effective immediately. The closure is due to ice on the bridge. There is no time when it may open back up.

Also, we just found out that 210 is completely closed to East and Westbound. Here is the map.
