The I-10 bridge bottleneck is caused by people trying to get from LA-1 to the east side of the river.

The bottleneck is caused by poor planning and politics/money in the past.

Look at what neighborhoods the interstate avoided by turning so sharply coming off the bridge and which ones it cut through.

LA-1 and I-10E traffic are a mess in the evenings. A lot of that having to do with the interstate going from 3-ish lanes to 1-ish lanes almost immediately after crossing the bridge.

Poor planning was not expecting future volume coming through the city and not leaving much room for expansion.

All that bitching about past planning doesn’t change the problems we have now and the action needed to fix it. Which is widen I-10 through Br which they’re gonna take the next 10 years to do and build a build south of Br

This will literally be fixed within 5-10 years. I-10 is being rebuilt and will be 3 lanes from the bridge to Acadian.

As for the new bridge -- Here is the recently updated page on the bridge website:
