It sounds like the route through DeRidder is an option, but I'd appreciate any further ideas or updates.

Going Hwy 171 & US 190 IMO is probably the best option. You should be able to drive the speed limit without slowing down most of the way..... unless you get behind someone going slow on US 190, it is a 2 lane hwy.
Tonight's news report said the water on I-10 has started to drop. Hwy is still covered with a little water and Texas officials have said that the Hwy will need to be inspected before it is reopened.
