New Orleans Road Closures and Traffic Camera Pictures

As you can see from the New Orleans Road Closure map, all roads into New Orleans have now been closed as a State of Emergency is declared in New Orleans in preparation for Hurricane Gustav to hit the region. The federal government, not wanting a repeat of the deaths caused by Katrina 3 years ago, have issued a mandatory evacuation Notice for New Orleans. That means EVERYONE OUT. CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES OF THE MASS EXODUS FROM NEW ORLEANS





Over 1 Million people have left New Orleans within 24 hours of the forced evacutation. National guard troops are now on scene with many more to come. The government is definately not taking any chances with hurricane Gustav.

Below is a Traffic map showing all the road closures as well as a description of the various road closures in New Orleans. Also, there are a couple of pictures from traffic camera's showing the extent of the evacuation.
