Cutting the ribbon: City-parish officials on Thursday will cut the ribbon on the $25.8 million Sullivan Road expansion. Workers transformed Sullivan Road from a two-lane road to a four-lane road with a raised median between the Central Thruway and Wax Road in Central. Other improvements included intersection upgrades and additional turn lanes on Sullivan Road. The expansion means Sullivan Road can now act as a north/south thruway from Hooper Road to Nicholson Drive. The project is part of the Green Light Plan, the city-parish’s extensive transportation overhaul program. The ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. at First Baptist Church Central, 9676 Sullivan Road.

This article says that the new Sullivan expansion creates a NS thruway from Hooper Road to Nicholson Drive. Where exactly does this connect/come out on Nicholson Drive?

Good question.

It sort of comes down O'Neal, but that ends at George O'Neal. I guess they expect people to switch over to Stumberg and Pecue? Even that only goes to Highland.

I live in Central. They arent done with improvements. If you look at the Capital Outlay bill, the state is gonna expand Hooper from two to four lanes from Blackwater to Greenwell Springs. They are also gonna expand Sullian from two to four lanes from Wax to Hooper. And they are gonna extend Hooper from Greenwell Springs to Watson/Denham.

Nicholson - Bluebonnet - Burbank - Seigan - Perkins once they widen it east of Seigan - Stumburg - new Stumberg extension - Tiger Bend - widened Jones Creek - South Harrell's Ferry - Oneal - Central Thruway - Sullivan

Not direct but 4 lanes through the southern and eastern part of the parish.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. But still seems as though its not a true North South thruway, especially if parts of the puzzle still aren't 4 lanes.

I was thinking about this at one time.
