The Crescent City Connection is now closed in both directions.
Louisiana DOTD road crews had managed to keep one lane open in each direction, but the weather eventually got to be too much.
The Huey Long Bridge in Jefferson Parish and the I-310 Hale Boggs Bridge in St. Charles Parish are also closed.
The nearest available river crossing is now the Gramercy Bridge. Jacques Thibodeaux with the Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness says residents should not be attempting to drive, anyway.
