Several St. Martin Parish Roads Remain Closed + Sandbag Locations
St. Martin Parish was one of the hardest hit areas on Saturday as yet another heavy round of rains plowed through Acadiana. And unfortunately, more are likely on the way on Sunday.
As a result, the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office reports that several roads in the parish are still impassable.
Below is the list of roads still flooded and closed as a result:
- Grand Point @ Grand Anse
- Grand Point to Cecilia H.S. Highway
- Doyle Melancon Extension
- Alcide Bonin Road
- Quail Run
- Underpass at I-10/Henderson
Some roads have water but are still passable. But, please, only pass with caution and only if necessary:
- Harold Stoute
- Ches Courville near Quail Run
- Lelan Road
- Roman Robin
- St. Peter Drive
As this is a fluid situation, please remember to adhere to signs placed by authorities. Additionally, the SMPSO would like to ask sightseers to stay off the roads.
