Jefferson Parish is stopping them now. The bridge lets you off in Jeff Parish, at the mall where the police station was overrun and burned a couple of days ago by people who walked over the bridge. The sheriff and president of Jefferson Parish are not letting anybody else over. They have no water or power over there, either, and are dealing with their own rioting and looting situations without any help, apparently.

The authorities in Jefferson Parish sent the mayor of NO a letter, demanding that the evacuees who came to their parish be rescreened for drugs and guns BEFORE the put them on the buses to evacuate them.
They also demanded that they be given showers.
Can't say as I blame them since they have their own problems. Last thing they need is people from Orleans Parish.
