Is the tunnel west of Rochport opened yet?

The Katy answered me on their FB page. Sounds like the entire bridge at Rocheport has to be replaced, and before that happens the levees need to be fixed. So I am not very hopeful for a Fall trip. Who knows how long all this will take. I am going to drive out there in the next 2 wks and see what the detour is like, sounds like 60mph and no shoulder. Not good. I'll report back then.

No - I was there on Saturday - there is an orange fence blocking the tunnel. The detour is to ride for a bit on 40 highway - after the hill going down from Rocheport - it is pretty flat but traffic is fast and there isn't much shoulder. The speed limit is 60, but people tend to go faster. The bike shop in Rocheport was open on Saturday - and I am guessing that they could help find people to shuttle you around the detour.
