I-10 East was shut down on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge just past Whiskey Bay due to a crash, as reported by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD). The incident occurred before 4 p.m., forcing vehicles to use the right shoulder to navigate around the blockage. By around 5:15 p.m., all lanes were reopened.

DOTD officials noted significant traffic backups and advised drivers to seek alternate routes, especially since many were traveling back after the Fourth of July holiday. It is currently unclear if there were any injuries from the crash, and the cause is still under investigation.
