Do you think highland rd will ever be 4 lanes? It would help traffic but it will NEVER happen.



It can't happen physically I don't think. Its narrow as it is on the shoulders and people have property lines right there along the entire thing.

And its an old levee.

I think there are much better and more cost effective ways to help BR traffic than that.

Build a fricking loop, extend and add connector streets. They need a bypass from Perkins to I-10 and I-12 without lights on it in several areas.

Every day that passes the less likely it will happen. Also it will just get more expensive to do so.

Hopefully the Essen improvements will help that area but once again its a project that is long overdue. OLOL used to be small...they didn't have all the buildings between 10 & 12...now there are just way too many people on the road. Same can be said for most of the town. They are just so eager to let people build before having the infrastructure in place to accommodate the traffic.
