Several major traffic arteries around St. John the Baptist and St. Tammany parishes remain closed today because of the lingering floodwaters from Hurricane Isaac. The Louisiana State Police says Interstate 55 is closed in both directions, from Interstate 10 in LaPlace to U.S. Hwy. 51 in Ponchatoula. Interstate 10 is closed in several spots, including in both directions in the LaPlace area, which experienced heavy flooding. Exit ramps at one Slidell stop were shut today. The Causeway Bridge over Lake Pontchartrain also was shuttered, according to state police. Updates on all road closures can be accessed by calling 511 or checking online at 511LA.org.
