Baton Rouge Curfew Lifted Thursday

2theadvocate.com staff report

Published: Sep 10, 2008 - UPDATED: 3:35 p.m.

The curfew imposed on East Baton Rouge Parish since Hurricane Gustav ravaged the city last Monday will expire Thursday, Sept. 11, Sgt. Don Kelly of the Baton Rouge Police Department said in a news release issued Wednesday.

Mayor-President Kip Holden announced the lifting of the curfew earlier Wednesday, Kelly said.

The 10 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew will continue through Wednesday night.

Kelly cautioned, however, that there are “still significant areas of the parish without power, and some major roadways and intersections are still without streetlights and working signals.

“Even without a legal curfew, residents are urged to voluntarily restrict their travel after dark as much as possible,” Kelly said.
