The City of Lake Charles will be open with normal business hours on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
Transit and Solid Waste routes are expected to run on schedule provided road conditions remain favorable.
As of 8 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026, the Enterprise Boulevard Overpass, between Fournet Street and the I-10 Service Road, and the Shattuck Street Overpass, between Opelousas Street and the I-10 Service Road, are closed due to the potential for icy road conditions. The overpasses will remain closed until further notice.  Public safety employees and public works crews are continuously monitoring conditions and will reopen the overpasses as soon as the threat of icy road conditions passes.   
Currently, North Martin Luther King Highway remains an alternative route within the City of Lake Charles.  
Local public safety agencies would like to remind residents that emergency services are not affected by these closures and should a resident need emergency assistance, dial 911.   
Motorists are urged to avoid travel on roadways, if possible, into the evening and nighttime hours. If travel is necessary, motorists should take caution while driving due to the possibility of ice that is not visible.
