State police closed eastbound lanes of the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge along Interstate 10 this morning after some 18-wheelers just shyly fell off the Ramah exit.
Traffic is diverted along I-49 and US 190 for travel between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. Troopers say the highway could be closed for a long time as crews work to clear the mess.
In a post on its Facebook page, Louisiana State Police say the crash happened on I-10 east on Milepost 134. The site is about a mile west of the Ramah-Maringouin exit. The crash involved several 18-wheelers and passenger cars, troops said.
“Both eastbound lanes on I-10 are closed at this time,” state police said at 4 p.m. “The designated detour is Interstate 49 north on U.S. Hwy 190 east. . “
