I heard the same story about 12 originally going to be designated as 10. As the story goes, politics were involved with NOLA leaders influenced the decision so interstate traffic had to travel through town…Not shocking.

Yeah it was all politics. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that bypassing the country's 16th largest city at the time of construction was a dumb idea. It was definitely crooked politics!
