Approximately 2,000 law enforcement officers will be present for the Super Bowl, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told reporters Wednesday. No vehicle traffic will be allowed on the Bourbon Street, and the city will block intersections leading to the most popular areas, Kirkpatrick said.

New Orleans was rocked by a terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year's Day, which left 14 people dead and dozens wounded. US homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, visited the site on Monday with Louisiana governor Jeff Landry on Monday before speaking to media.
