Francine hasn't arrived yet, so no storm-related road closures to report, but here are some resources for the next couple of days.
Statewide, you can see real-time updates of road closures, accidents, blocked lanes, etc. on the Louisiana DOTD's website here: https://www.511la.org/#:Alerts
On that site, you can set your map to display accidents, high water, closures, and you can access cameras on the Interstate system to view traffic flow.
