Anyone know any shortcuts or less-traveled roads from Youngsville to BR (past LSU?)

Ive traveled this a lot and I almost always go north on I-49 to Opelousas and cut over on 190 and come across the Old Ms River bridge. It's definitely longer but the Basin Bridge is always such a crap shoot, especially now. At least if you go 190 you know it's going to be about a 1 hr 20 min drive but no more. Basin bridge could be an hour, could be 4 hours. Just not worth the risk in my opinion and in some ways I just can't stand not moving, however irrational that may seem.
