  • Causeway bridge won’t reopen Wednesday due to ice, snow | Weather


    The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway won’t be opened on Wednesday, and there’s a good chance it won’t be open to the general driving public on Thursday, either, the top bridge official says.

    Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou said that although Wednesday’s sunshine is helping, the snow and ice on the spans might not be cleared for a while. 

    “We aren’t going to be able to open today,” Dufrechou said at 11:30 a.m. 

    But Thursday?

    “I think it would be amazing if we’re able to see any degree of traffic,” he added.

    The bridge was closed early Tuesday as the region experienced a rare, day-long snowstorm. Then, overnight temperatures dropped into the teens and 20s across the region, turning that snow slush into ice. 

    Dufrechou said the worst stretch of the bridge is from the toll plaza on the north end and running six or so miles south. There, he said, the snow is 18 inches to two feet deep with ice under it.

    “It’s really just like a pan of white stuff,” he said.

    The bridge runs 24 miles across the lake between Mandeville and Metairie. Tolls are collected on the north end.

    The Interstate 10 twin span bridges linking Slidell and New Orleans have also been closed, leaving on the U.S. 11 bridge as way to get across the lake.

    Workers using front-end loaders are trying to clear the north end of the bridge and the entrance at the toll plaza. Dufrechou said the city of Mandeville and Boh Brothers Construction Co. are helping to clear the north end. 

    But clearing the snow alone won’t do the trick, he said. There’s still the thick ice, and temperatures will only get a few degrees above freezing today before plummeting into the teens again overnight.

    “Anything that melts today might freeze again overnight,” Dufrechou said.



    Due to inclement weather conditions, the Causeway bridge will remain closed on Wednesday. Ice and snow accumulation have made travel hazardous, leading officials to keep the bridge closed for the safety of commuters. Please stay tuned for updates on when the bridge will reopen. Stay safe and drive carefully in these winter conditions. #CausewayBridge #WinterWeather #StaySafe.

  • Causeway officials work to clear bridge as icy conditions persist


    MANDEVILLE, La. (WVUE) – Crews brought in heavy equipment today to clear the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, which remained closed due to dangerous icy conditions. Officials are hopeful at least one lane will reopen for first responders Thursday afternoon.

    Across the North Shore, many roadways were becoming passable, though treacherous patches of black ice continued to threaten drivers. Despite repeated warnings to stay off the roads, more and more vehicles ventured out.

    “Obviously, it’s a beautiful day, and a lot of people need to be reminded there’s still thick layers of black ice on the highways,” said Louisiana State Police Troop L Trooper Marc Gremillion.

    As the sun shone on the icy streets, major roadways such as U.S. Highway 190 south of Covington gradually became more accessible.

    However, some drivers struggled to gain traction, with vehicles fishtailing and skidding.

    “It’s scary,” said Rene Hymel of Covington. “I lived in Connecticut and Cleveland, so I have an all-wheel-drive, but there are a lot of icy patches.”

    In some cases, drivers took to any available dry patches, leading to near-misses, including a close call between a passenger vehicle and an 18-wheeler near Covington’s Claiborne Hill.

    WINTER BLAST

    While some roadways improved, others remained slick with ice, leaving those with four-wheel drive at an advantage.

    “It’s been really slick and icy, but this truck does good with four-wheel drive,” said Michelle Carey, a certified nurse assistant from Covington. “I’m pretty good with it.”

    Carey said she had to brave the hazardous conditions to get to work.

    The icy conditions brought many North Shore residents an unexpected day off.

    “I’m glad I have a nine- and a 10-year-old,” Hymel added. “They had fun, and I hope everyone stays safe.”

    Meanwhile, crews worked diligently at the Causeway to remove hundreds of tons of ice and snow.

    Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou said efforts to clear the bridge would continue through the night, with hopes of reopening by tomorrow.
