 Northshore Commuters Anybody commute from Mandeville to Chalmette area? Just curious if better to go causeway or via Slidell? What's traffic like and what kind of commute times?
Mapquest claims 59 minutes on both routes, but shorter distance via the causeway. Just wanting some real life opinions and experience for morning and afternoon commutes.
Thanks for the help.

Re: Northshore Commuters Through Slidell. Way less hassle.

Re: Northshore Commuters I'd skip the causeway and avoid NO all together and go through Slidell. There's a much better chance of getting stuck on the causeway because of a wreck, or on I-10 in NO due to rubbernecks than going 12 to Slidell.

Re: Northshore Commuters Also, it's only about 40-45 minutes from Mandeville to Chalmette.

Re: Northshore Commuters Thanks, guys! Kind of what I had been told by one person, just wanted to get some confirmation. Y'all have been a big help.

Re: Northshore Commuters Go through Slidell. New construction opened up to three lanes from I-12 at HWY 11 to the I-10/12 interchange. It's three lanes all the way from I-10 to to 510 to Chalmette. Like others have said, avoid Causeway at all costs.

Re: Northshore Commuters not to mention the slidell route can be 80mph most of the way.

Re: Northshore Commuters Causeway shouldn't even be an option if you are visiting the chalmations. It's a way, but much longer. 1 hr commute with no traffic.

Re: Northshore Commuters I normally avoid 11 bridge unless I know of a wreck on the spans. I don't like the fact that I have No where to go if a car is coming head on. Seen way to many of those on there.
