For Immediate Release

Date: May 8, 2011
Bonnet Carre Spillway Traffic Advisory

The Bonnet Carre Spillway was opened in 2008 and Louisiana State Police Troop B responded to numerous complaints related to slow moving motorists and vehicles stopping on I-10 and US 61 by individuals observing the spillway. Tomorrow morning, the Bonnet Carre Spillway will be opened and the Louisiana State Police would like to remind motorists that stopping on shoulders of roadways is prohibited, except for emergencies. Also, please do not travel under the minimum-posted speed limit as this poses hazardous situations for other motorists. Louisiana State Police will be patrolling the areas of I-10 on the spillway bridge and US 61 for potentially dangerous situations. If you observe unsafe drivers or situations, you are urged to call *LSP (*577) and report this activity to the nearest State Police office.
