best way to drive to area that most people might be able to walk out of New Orleans proper....

I am coming from the east, down I-10 so need to know the best way to get there from the east through Mississippi.

Chris, I think that is the impossible way to go. The highway bridges are down west of Biloxi and east of New Orleans.

Chris...


not necessarily impossible....it would be long though...i'm thinking you would have to go north...maybe to I-20?...i'm not sure i would have to look at a map...but get some gas cans in your home town just in case...because supposedly there are stations that are out on the way east.

but I-10 is completely out at lake pontchartrain (sp?)...go north and then go east and then go back south...like i said i think it would be a long ride but avoid the gulf coast (mainly because if your goal is to get to NOLA that would be the quickest way...

If It Is Even Possible to get there?

Someone on here talked about how they got out of NO (I think) and had to go North and then down through what seem like Mobile to Jay, FL.

I don't think you can go I-10 or 90 because the roads are out.

And the news is reporting Hwy. 98 is also closed at the AL/MS line. If you're going there, you'll have to go north and take I-59 or I-20 South, I believe.
