Sure, you could enjoy a hassle-free trip filled with only the open road and rest stops along the way. Or, you could come across a crash that keeps you stuck for hours, like drivers had to deal with Tuesday morning in Henderson just before the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge.

Or, you could encounter lane closures that can range from making you wish you took an alternate route to a minor aggravation on the way to your destination.
