re: Don't get on I12 East Between Covington and Slidell

The construction that is causing the issue is happening on I-10, East of the 10/12/59 interchange closer to the Mississippi state line (yes there's construction between the mall exit and Hwy 11 exit but that's not the cause of the traffic). So all Eastbound I-12 and Eastbound I-10 traffic is attempting to merge before the construction area, thus causing major back up. On my way home from work tonight at 730pm it was backed up to beyond the Mall exit on 12.
