What they should have done, though, was turned US-190 into I-12 to I-49 north of Opelousas, and put a new bridge or modify the old bridge there at 190. Would have cut a ton of 18-wheeler traffic out that passes through Baton Rouge. And just have a 10 to 12 spur to where it now connects at the 10/12 split

Only problem with your hindsight is that when 1-12 was designed/built US HWY 190, also known as FL BLVD, was the main strip for BR. Most of the current route of I-12 was not developed then.

I get that, I meant that they should have considered that now as an option to help relieve some of the congestion crossing the Bridge on I-10. I see now it doesn't read that way. At the time it made sense, I don't think anyone at that time saw the explosion of automobile travel coming.
