NEW ORLEANS — Heavy rainfall Tuesday caused street flooding and other weather-related issues throughout the metro New Orleans area. 

The storm is expected to continue throughout much of the day. Drivers should not go through flooded streets or any roadway with standing water. Underpasses are especially dangerous because it's often difficult to tell exactly how deep the water is. 

Here are the current street closures associated with the storm:

Interstate 10:

  • I-10 is closed eastbound and westbound from Highland Road to Siegen Lane remains closed to water on the roadway. Traffic is being diverted to US Highway 61.
