Interstate and downtown exit?

When it backs up, you can exit Carrolton, Then stay on to the Howard exit. Go down to the new Glass modern looking building on Howard and then turn underneath that overpass before the Times Picayune. Go to the stop sign and u turn to the on-ramp and get on Broad, then exit right away on Poydras and get right to downtown and it saves you two miles or so of traffic at least.

r That works if the Ponchartrain expressway is backed up well past claiborne.
