HENDERSON, La. (KLFY) -- If you're planning on taking I-10 toward Baton Rouge any time soon, you may want to find an alternate route. Traffic on I-10 near the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge and La. Hwy. 975 is blocked due to a vehicle fire, authorities said.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development first alerted motorists at about 11 a.m. that all eastbound lanes were blocked, and updated that alert at 12:15 p.m. to say that only one lane of traffic remained closed.
Traffic cameras in the area show eastbound traffic at a virtual standstill.
