HARVEY, La. (WGNO) – An oil spill in the eastbound lanes of Lapalco Boulevard is becoming a traffic nightmare.

According to the Jefferson Parish Public Information Officer, all eastbound lanes of Lapalco Boulevard are currently closed between Alex Kornman and Destrehan Avenue due to the spill.

There are also two vehicle accidents in the same area that are currently under investigation.

Marrero-Harvey and Marrero Estelle Fire Departments, as well as the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department, are all on the scene right now.

A dump truck load of sand is being brought in to improve road conditions, but motorists are advised to expect heavy traffic in the area until the road is cleared.
