UPDATE: All lanes of I-10 Westbound are now reopened in Lafayette Parish after a late night crash shut down the interstate, diverting traffic and causing delays.
Authorities are currently responding to at least two significant accidents on Interstate 49 southbound, severely impacting traffic in the Carencro area.
Buc-cee's will be easier to access for Louisiana fans of the popular convenience store. By late 2024 and 2025, three stores will be within three hours of Lafayette.
A recent video capturing the icy and snow-covered conditions on I-49 in North Louisiana serves as an important reminder of the importance of heeding state officials' advice to avoid traveling during icy or snowy conditions. Not only do we have less experience driving in these icy conditions we also do not drive vehicles with the proper snow tires making traveling during this time extremely dangerous.
