why is an interstate highway south of I-12 designated as I-18?

Keep dreaming. Republicans in Congress mean this will never happen.

The democrats could have veto proof majorities on both houses, the presidency, and the supreme court and it wouldn't be possible because of the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers.

It would be incredibly fun to work on any of those.

Landowners also get market value for their land as well as local landowners getting a boon to their values because of the new access.
And we wonder why this state is last in almost everything.

not always and I would probably think property values decrease more than they increase when an interstate is put in

they will start thinking of voting on this by 2115.

I'd love the irony if you were working for some DOT, wasting time with these posts and not doing shite else.

Would much rather see a functioning train from BR to NO. The only things out of that that need to be completed are 1-49 tie in from Shreveport to Ark, BR loop, and Maybe 1-49 to NO. 
At an Alex loop.

1-49 to NOLA is practically in the works.

They decrease around an interstate except for when they're directly adjacent to an exit. That's where the politicking and land-snatching comes in. For the BR loop, they tried to use far wider than normal right of ways to confiscate additional land. They then controlled where the exits would be so that the additional right of way could be re-sold to connected developers for pennies on the dollar in exchange for a kickback while the local citizens get the boot, watching their old homesteads get turned into gas stations and Burger Kings.
To make it even more economical, the parish tried to change the zoning of the areas where the loop was going to go by leveling so many regulations that using them for the purposes of building anything or remodeling was impossible, devaluating the land so eminent domain would be cheaper. The zoning would then magically get changed once the transfer of land was completed to the developer.

Is there a website for Louisiana highways that show what road contruction project will look like when done? I want to see what the project going on in Broussard is suppose to look like once it's done.

Sorry, I would engage in some type of "DOT workers don't really work all the time" banter, but it's lunch time!
