Bayou Ramos bridge remains closed

From the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office Facebook page:

Sheriff Blaise Smith and the Patrol Division of the SMPSO are reminding motorists that the Bayou Ramos bridge on Highway 182 in Amelia is shut down at this time and according to the DOTD will be for some time.
.
The DOTD is advising that the Bayou Ramos Bridge, which was struck by a marine vessel, is not safe to travel at this time.
.
The Patrol Division is advising that there have been reports of people attempting to move the barricades in order to pass over the bridge as well as a vehicle that damaged barricades last night in order to pass.
.
The bridge supports have been damaged severely and until the DOTD repairs and clears the bridge for travel, it is not safe to do so.
