Interstate CLOSED at Texas-Louisiana Border

The Texas Department of Transportation has closed Interstate 10 near the Texas-Louisiana state line due to continued flooding.

All motorists driving eastbound to Louisiana should use I-20 as an alternate route. For those traveling on I-10 from:

El Paso take I-20 East of Van Horn
San Antonio take I-35 North to I-20 East to Shreveport
Houston take US 59 North to I-20 East to Shreveport
Beaumont take US 96 North to US 69 North to US 59 North to I-20 East to Shreveport

For other alternate routes, please visit www.DriveTexas.org or call (800) 452-9292. Follow @TxDOT on Twitter and TxDOT on Facebook for updates.

I was supposed to be on the road for family business but I knew Friday this weather water situation would wreak havoc on travel. Now it has come to pass. The Sabine Pass, that is.
