All lanes of Interstate 10 along the Texas-Louisiana border have reopened after floodwater forced officials shut them down for days.

Westbound lanes were opened Friday afternoon. A couple hours later the eastbound lanes opened.

Coming from Louisiana shouldn't be problem now, but if you're trying to head out there, you still have to take a major detour.

According to TxDOT, if you're heading east from Texas, these are the routes you should take.

If you're coming from El Paso, take I-20 east of Van Horn

If you're coming from San Antonio, take I-35 north to I-20 east to Shreveport

From Houston, take US 59 north to I-20 east to Shreveport

From Beaumont, take US 96 north to US 69 north to US 59 north to I-20 east to Shreveport
