From DOTD:
DOTD is monitoring LA 70 from the Bayou Corne Bridge east to LA 996. The Department is also monitoring a one-half mile stretch of LA 69 from its intersection with LA 70.
In the event conditions develop that would make the road network unusable or unsafe, we have planned the detour to be as follows:
- Traffic traveling to Pierre Part and points south will be directed to LA 1 South to LA 398 West, to LA 662 West, to Hwy 90 West to LA 70.
- Traffic traveling from Pierre Part and points south will be directed to US 90 East to LA 662 East, to LA 398 East, to LA 1 north to LA 70.
- Local traffic (passenger vehicles and trucks below the posting of the Bayou Pigeon Bridge (15/25)) will be able to take LA 997 to LA 75 to LA 404 to LA 69.
If the order is given to close the road, DOTD crews will install trailblazing signs to notify drivers of the detour. We will also install Variable Message Signs (VMS) at LA 70 at LA 1 and LA 70 at LA 69. We will notify District 03 and they will install a VMS on LA 70 just north of Morgan City.
Residents, you can see how close the water is to Hwy 70 here. It is easier to leave while the road is intact rather than wait and have to use a detour.

Do any of the government agencies have a published emergency evacuation plan based on possible road closures? AND an plan of providing transportation to those citizens needing assistance? If something occurs suddenly…this needs to be at least discussed and planned for. An emergency evacuation, and with a major road closure are not good combinations.
They have not ordered ANY evacuation.
That’s why this blog is HIGHLY RECOMMENDING an evacuation NOW… while they (allegedly) make things WORSE with the thumper truck.
Residents can take cherished items and clothing, ID etc. away if they drive away. If the road(s) succumb to flooding/failure, residents In a panic, will be rescued by water craft they probably won’t be able to take much of anything.
Louisiana already has practiceds and coordinated hurricane evac. plans and I am sure those are handy.
ALL I CAN FIND (publicly available) is that info from DOTD posted.
i noticed that on a video u posted that bella rose had alot of siesmic activity, where is that located actually?
It’s right there …just above Bayou Corne (2 o’clock from it)
