re: Will I-49 south ever get built?

If they were serious about getting 49 built, then why have they spent the money putting more interchanges in the medians south of Lafayette for the last two years? Serious question - I drive through that area a lot and don't understand what that has to do with prepping the area for interstate expansion.

The J-turns have been put in as the road has been expanded to 6 lanes. IMO the J-turn/ medians are a pain in the arse, but seem to have helped reduce accidents and make traffic flow smoother.

In the past, people crossing the same turn around in both directions was a major clusterfrick and led to countless wrecks
