A complete road closure is currently in effect on Louisiana Highway 79, from Louisiana Highway 80 southbound to Locust Hill Road. This closure is due to multiple 18-wheelers struggling to navigate the hill because of icy road conditions. Please plan accordingly and expect extended travel times if you need to use this route. The duration of the closure is currently unknown, but we will provide an update once both lanes are reopened.

***UPDATE***

All Northound and Southbound lanes on Louisiana Highway 79 are back open.
