I wish I could help you...the only thing I have heard is that I-10 is not in good shape...but that was earlier today.

Here's the website for LA road closures:

The I-10 Bridge over the Calcasieu River in Lake Charles is closed for inspection after being hit by 2 barges. From news reports, the barges ricocheted off the nearby Isle of Capri casino boat into the bridge.

I-210 is closed near Nelson Road in Lake Charles due to power lines across the road. So you'd have to find a way to avoid these main routes in Lake Charles to continue down I-10 in the rest of Louisiana.

There's nothing on the Texas DOT site about closures on I-10. But the variable message signs on I-10 East in Houston say that I-10 East is closed in Winnie/SH 124. No access to Jefferson County (which includes Beaumont and Port Arthur).

I don't know about I-10 West, though.

The website shows no other I-10 closures in LA.
