UPDATE: US 90 westbound now closed at LA 308 and LA 182 now closed at Nocko’s.
ROAD CLOSURES: portions of US Hwy 90 and LA Hwy 182 are closed due to smoke from marsh fires.

- Raceland Lower Elementary
- Raceland Upper Elementary
- Raceland Middle
- Bayou Blue Upper Elementary

- Central Lafourche High School.
Most have no visibility issues, but smoke from marsh fires closer to Lafourche, Terrebonne, and St. Mary parishes is lowering visibility to near zero in some spots. Be careful if driving down that direction! #LAwx pic.twitter.com/rBaddmb0Tv
