Interstate 10 in the Baton Rouge metro area reopened to both eastbound and westbound traffic Thursday afternoon, the Department of Transportation and Development announced.

Louisiana DOTD officials have closed a large part of interstate 10 due to the icy conditions on the road. DOTD says that I-10 is closed in both directions from the Louisiana-Texas state line to Baton Rouge.

Much of Interstate 10 and many other major South Louisiana thoroughfares remained closed Wednesday after a major snowstorm, and it was not clear when they would reopen, state officials said.

The Interstate 10 closure spanned nearly the entire state, ending west of the Mississippi state line east of New Orleans. Meanwhile, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) had deployed crews traveling in both directions to treat the interstate's surfaces in an effort to restore normal traffic flow.

The latest closure means that nearly three-quarters of Louisiana’s portion of the coast-to-coast highway is shut. A rare winter storm brought record snowfall to the state on Tuesday.

A significant portion of I-10 is closed in both directions in Louisiana west of Baton Rouge to the Texas border.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said the state is facing potential record snowfall that could close Mississippi River bridges from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.

A winter storm swept across south Louisiana on Tuesday morning, covering New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette in a layer of snow.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and state officials held a news briefing on Wednesday to update residents on the unprecedented weather event and its ongoing challenges.
