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.

In response to the impending winter weather, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced the closure of Interstate 49 near the state line.
Drivers traveling along Interstate 49 in Lafayette and St. Landry Parishes will want to pay attention to Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development construction crews as they work to clean up the nearly 38-mile stretch of the interstate.
