** Update:  as of 9:00 a.m. on September 14, the tunnel is now OPEN.  For more info, see tohsep.com/Emergency/article/2164. **

In anticipation of the heavy rains that are expected in Terrebonne Parish, the Houma Tunnel will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, September 14, 2021, beginning at 7:00 AM so that the gutters can be cleaned of debris. This will prevent debris from getting into the pump system that keeps the Tunnel dry. If the pumps are clogged with debris, the Tunnel will begin to flood.

The Tunnel will reopen as soon as possible, but no time is available yet. When the Tunnel is re-opened, this information will be posted on Facebook and the parish website.
