All roads and highways have been cleared for travel. Caution advised.

DOTD says more closures are likely today, but they are working to ensure that other avenues are open for travel.

They remind you that if you have to drive during hazardous conditions, you are asked to use extreme caution.

Drivers have ventured out and traffic congestion is effecting travel.

Problems continue for many areas of travel in Acadiana.

Please do not travel into water because most likely you can't judge the depth.

A 130-mile stretch of Texas Highway 130 opened yesterday with a speed limit of 85 miles per hour. What if Acadiana did the same thing?

Car buffs may have something to smile about as two old nameplates may be making a comeback.  Studebaker is a name that you have seen if you happen on a classic car show and now, a man in Colorado is planning on bringing it back to the present day...

18-wheelers shouldn't get bigger.
