Only problem with 90 is from I-10 until you get out of Lafayette. Lot's of stop lights and traffic at certain times. Once you get out of that, it's definitely faster than taking I-10 through BR. Got into this discussion with my wife and friends who though it was stupid to take 90 from NOLA on the way to a concert in Lafayette.....they ended up missing the first half of the concert due to sitting 4 hours in traffic.

I've been making the Friday afternoon drive from Lafayette to NOLA on a weekly basis for years. On I-10, this drive usually takes somewhere between 2 1/2 and 5 hours. Everything depends what's happening on the Basin Bridge and the I-10 Mississippi River Bridge in BR. If there is a wreck or stalled vehicle on either one of those, be prepared to sit for a long time.

The Highway 90 drive takes about 20-30 minutes longer than I-10, but the drive never seems to take more than 3 hours. I still alternate between the two routes, but never seem to regret taking Highway 90.
