Just to throw a radical idea out there, you can also have a "bypass" go directly through the middle of the city by using stacks as well. You could just build another interstate on top of the current one that has limited access/exits. That way, vehicles just going through Baton Rouge could get on the upper portion that has very few, if any, exits while local traffic could use the lower interstate that has the usual exit/entrance ramps.
Access to the upper would be near the bridge, and cars getting on the "bypass" could not exit until they are past Walker or Gonzales; at which point the upper level would simply lower and become part of the "local" interstate below.
(I'm just trying to think out of the box here since NIMBYs are keeping this from getting done)

This would be great if they had another bridge, but as it is, that would just add more lanes merging onto the bridge.

I like this idea too. Don't know if its feasible, but if you had express lanes above the regular interstate and charged a toll, it might be a good deal.
I still believe the problem of no shoulders and one too few lanes "below" would also need to be addressed.
