Generally, how long will it stay closed and where do you find the salinity on the refuge side

That depends on rainfall

They will keep them closed until the area get enough rain to lower the salinty to target levels..or as has happened in rare instances it gets so bad that the salinity behind the weirs becomes higher than levels in the lake. You can get data on the salinity and also marsh water levels at www.waterdata.usgs.com on the front page you'll see a little icon of a US map, click on it to open the map, then zoom into the area to the SE of Big Lake and you'll see a marker back toward Broussard Lake. Click on the marker icon then click "access data"
