Due to dense fog, Interstate 10 (I-10) is closed in both directions. I-10 West is closed at Irish Bayou. I-10 East is closed at I-510. Westbound traffic is being diverted off at Irish Bayou. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes.
Below are some safe driving tips if you encounter foggy conditions:
*reducing your speed reduces the likelihood of serious injury or fatality if involved in a crash.
*turn your headlights to the ON position – this ensures that your headlights and taillights are activated and visible.
*reducing distractions allows the driver to focus on the roadway and react to the change in visibility.
