Wed, 01/16/2019 - 11:54am
The town of Berwick plans to close the First Street floodgate Friday as the Atchafalaya River continues to rise. The projected forecast shows the river reaching 6.3 feet Friday in Morgan City.
Berwick officials will give 24 hours prior notice before any flood gates are closed along the riverfront.
Morgan City officials don't yet have plans to close any gates, but they're monitoring the projected river levels.
