They are working in the East bound side of the bridge, and it's down to one lane over the bridge.
2-10 is just as bad. Traffic is and will be backed up past Sulfer LA. You been warned. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk |

Sounds like the construction has the loop around LC backed up too due to increased traffic. Whats an alternate route, 190? I need to head west to Orange from Lafayette.
Maybe Blake can chime in... |

West bound isn't too bad . Once you get over the bridge and past the 210 exit it flows good again untill these no driving LA folks bang into each other

If you catch it in the off hours it's not bad at all. I went in to Lake Charles today just timed it right. Got into town about 9:30 AM with no issues, and could have kept traveling east without slow down. Headed back home to Texas at 12:30 and never slowed up until Baytown. Had to take 10 today instead of 105 for work reasons.
Now if you hit it during prime time hours it is something awful from what my friends/family say. It's been taking my dad 45 minutes to cover the same stretch that usually takes 15. Construction supposed to last 4 months, so we can count on 8 months surely. haha |

There's a little blacktop Road that will take you along the coast all the way to the TX./La. line, but I wouldn't recommend it, we found it several years ago when a barge ran into a bridge closing down our return route back to Lake Charles. Maybe it's still there, this was a good many years ago, there's been a few hurricanes since then.

![]() WAZE app and checking out the live cameras on 511la.org will give you real time traffic situations. 190 is definitely an option FWIW - the I-10 bridge over Lake Charles is one of the most unsafe bridges in the US. Repairs and structural fixes are long overdue Last edited by Cajun Blake; 03-09-2018 at 04:21 AM. |

Hmm, looks like I may need to start planning an alternate route. Heading to Venice on March 23rd. Should hit Lake Charles between 10 and 11.

I'll be heading to Lake Charles late on Wednesday (2200 ish) and coming back around the same time Thursday, think it's going to be a PITA?

Crazy how bad the traffic has gotten there. I don't even know if it will ever get better!

If they will ever get these highway expansion finished it will. We still have a few years of work on the section between Winnie and Fannett, there is a wreck on the interstate every couple days. People still driving like idiots going 80 staring at a stupid cell phone.

Bump this to top. If I'm leaving Austin around 4am on Wednesday on my way to New Orleans, would you just face whatever traffic is there or is there a better route?

Oh and btw I'm getting directions for 4 women making a trip down there. No telling if they actually leave that early, how many bathroom stops they make, how many times they'll get lost, etc. I'm trying to keep it simple if I can. |

I drove thru Sulphur -> LC Sunday around 2:00pm and there was no slowdown, smooth sailing traffic flow at 75 mph. I took 210 to avoid the one-lane MS Bridge
It’s all about timing as I would avoid this area (I-10 Eastbound) from 7-9am , and 3:30- 6:30pm; otherwise traffic is a mother. I-10 westbound is fine but does see some 35-40mph slowdown from merging traffic Follow the WAZE app and watch traffic video cameras at www.511la.org |

Oh, I am a wazer. Looking at traffic now and dont see any. But I will be hitting LC around 4 when the traffic is already awful and just trying to make sure it isnt doubly awful due to lane closures. Made the trip 3 weekends ago and it was fine, but a coworker said it wasnt today.
