I-55 Contraflow North?

[Don Miller]

Has anyone heard when I-55 will go to North bound traffic only? Leaving in the morning going to the LaTech game in Ruston. I'm nervous about this trip in more ways than one. I'd be happy with a one point win and no traffic gridlock.

Good luck brother.....

It's hear-say mandatory evacuation 8 am Sunday, North bound only.....

The word down here in McComb is that they are switching the southbound lanes to all northbound at 6pm. They have a crossover done at Bogue Chitto (halfway between McComb and Brookhaven) to let the traffic back over. Don't know if they are just doing it to there or running it further north.

All indication is Sun. Planned time is approx 1300 hrs. depending on storm updates, it may change.

It is all in the hands of the State of Louisiana as to when this will happen. So, all we can do is sit and wait.
