As the Gulf Coast braces for the impact of this week’s winter storm, here’s what we know about how the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport and area hospitals are responding. This article may be updated as more information becomes available. I-10 and I-12 DOTD Communications Director Rodney Mallet tells Daily Report that it’s currently too early to tell whether Interstate 10 or Interstate 12 may have to shut down at any point. Ahead of the storm, the agency is pretreating both of the roadways in an effort to avoid any such closures. Mallet says I-12 in particular usually remains open during weather events of this ilk, but he’s careful to note that every event is different. To stay up to date on road closures, Mallet encourages the public to regularly check 511la.org.
