re: Today's Advocate headline, "I-10 widening garners little enthusiasm"

shutting down the washington st exit, building another lane over it and extending it to accommodate I-10 traffic would relieve a lot of the bridge backup that occurs literally every day of the week.
every day except for mondays the 18 wheelers sit in the middle lane of the bridge headed east bound and travel through the choke point of the merge of I-110 and I-10 near the washington st exit. it's insane.
then you factor in the traffic coming from the plants on LA-1... two lanes from LA-1, then the river road, then the service road... all 4 lanes merging onto the 1 lane onramp to the bridge where 1 other lane is merging from port allen INTO 3 more lanes from 18 wheelers and other traffic heading east bound.

If they built new lanes for 10 East, don't you think they would reconfigure the bridge lanes to have all 3 lanes available for eastbound traffic, instead of 1 for NB 110, 1 for EB 10 and 1 for Washington Street?
I like the idea of the lane stacks. At the very least we could have an HOV lane to the outlying parishes. While they are at it, build light rail on the top. I'm talking a triple decker stack that rivals anything in Dallas or Houston.
