Although all 10 of the current bridge locations are pretty bad (there are better options that would also have less of an impact on river navigation as these 10 options), the four crossings south of Bayou Paul road and just north of St. Gabriel (on the east side) and just south of Plaquemine (on the west side) are the best of these bad options. These four locations are far enough north to still provide a viable bypass for I-10 through traffic, and far enough south that they will avoid significantly worsening traffic in south Baton Rouge.

Maybe it’d be easier to leave the bridges as they are but actually connect them with interstate level roads. We’d have a loop then. A giant loop but still a loop.

Sounds like someone should let the Corps of Engineers, river pilots, and levee districts know - since they eliminated over half of the proposed bridge locations due to levee impacts or navigational issues.
