That’s what I was thinking. I have zero desire to ever travel it.

BR traffic is ridiculous, but try driving from Orlando to Tampa on I-4. This morning it took me 48 minutes to travel 9.3 miles.


I lived in BR and now I sit in Houston traffic everyday. Give me houston any day over BR.

There has to be over 200-250 distribuiton centers for companies in and all around the Houston area. This is why there is so much semi trucking up and down i10. It has become insane on interstates and hwys.

Well if they get rid of those dueling pistols they might avert a disaster.

It extends from Houston to New Orleans...but YES is the correct answer. I would much rather drive North and South.

I-95 between Baltimore and Philadelphia.


Was there in April and I took the long way (301)...and it was totally worth the extra 10 minutes.

The Beaumont to Louisiana border in I-10 is weird. It’s been under construction for 35 years. 20- 25 years ago, they built a new bridge over the Sabine River in a year or two quite efficiently , but somehow it takes 30 plus years to widen it an extra lane.

Speaking of that stretch of highway, are the billboards still up that called out the guy who brutally murdered his wife, with no suspects and no arrests by the Vidor Police dept still up?

That's a pretty big stretch to generalize.
But I can dig it. I drive it frequently.
As a matter of fact, earlier tonight, when a little rain caused every single person on the interstate (besides myself of course) to turn into a jelly head, I was going about 30mph on an interstate highway....

And the sign says 65 miles to Lake Charles once you pass through Lafayette- but it takes 3 days, not an hour
