NEW ORLEANS — Heads up if you're driving into the city over the holiday weekend. The HOV lanes of the Crescent City Connection Bridge will be closed starting Friday and the closure will continue through Monday afternoon.
The closure will begin at 10 a.m. Friday and will last through 1 p.m. Monday, Dec. 26, according to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The closure is due to a water leak near Earhart Boulevard that will likely cause icy conditions on the roadway.
The DOTD says crews will apply salt to Earhart Boulevard in an attempt to keep one lane open. All other travel lanes on the bridge will remain open.
