Do you think a town should have the right to shut down access to a US highway that's an evacuation route BEFORE THE STORM?

That was standard operating procedure. Once Gretna was evacuated, the bridges were to be shut down because they would be unsafe for travel durring a hurricane. Then after the hurricane were to be closed to foot traffic until they could be inspected to see if they could hold thousands of people stampeding across them.
