Louisiana state police have reopened a stretch of Interstate 10 between Lafayette and Baton Rouge that has been closed since Nov. 15 because of a natural gas well blowout, the Associated Press reported Monday, Nov. 26.
Troopers and highway workers removed cones and barricades to allow traffic through in both directions at about 7 p.m. Sunday, according to the AP.
The 55-mile corridor over the Atchafalaya Basin between Louisiana State Route 415 and I-49 — part of a major route between Houston and New Orleans — was not damaged seriously, authorities said.
