How about put a toll on the proposed bridge. I cross the river in both donaldsonville and br multiple times a week, and sometimes multiple times a day. I would gladly pay for a sunpass type service to bypass both of those bottlenecks. I've been taking river road home from Port Allen on the BR side the past few weeks because dealing with the cluster is ridiculous.

Agree with a toll on the proposed bridge, but why not start generating revenue on existing infrastructure right now? Someone else may know if this is legal or not.

I am in your boat as well. The Sunshine Bridge has been absurd the last two years while it has been one lane. Complete and utter BS for that project to take as long as it has.

The article sounds like they interviewed a couple of business owners that may be mildly affected by construction access.

Maybe they should have interviewed a few of the tens of thousands that sit in traffic on the substandard system every day.

Build 8 lanes per side, a loop, a new bridge and whatever else it takes. Let my people go.

I do not trust LA politicians enough to pay a tax on existing infrastructure and expect those funds to be used as promised. They would very likely funnel those funds into social programs and pensions, and never build the infrastructure we need.

Let them put up tolls on new roads and bridges. I'd gladly pay to see progress.
