Possible temporary closure of Cameron Ferry
Lake Charles - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development advises motorists that the Cameron Ferry service may be suspended due to hazardous conditions from Tropical Storm Barry. The ferry will remain in service as long as it is safe to operate, however a decision may be announced with little to no additional warning due to rapidly changing conditions.
Motorists are encouraged to check the status of road conditions and the ferry prior to beginning commutes to impacted areas by utilizing the following resources for the latest information regarding road conditions:
