Are there not any updates on road openings? Or, are we to assume that because there is no update that roads are open? I have even been to the ALDOT website and still get practically the same info. I am interested in the intersection of Wulff and Snow. Can you help?

It’s Hall Road and Highway 90 that the road is closed with water over it and not Hall Road and Old Pascagoula. It’s right before you get to the Mississippi state line. If you are coming from Mississippi on Highway 90, you cannot get through. You will have to turn around.
