I haven't seeen anyone address it, but there is already a major part of the infrastructure for a loop in existence. If you take I-55 and connect it to the Gramercy/Wallace Bridge, funnel traffic to 3127, complete that to Gross Tete, then a possible connection to the bridge in St Francisville at 190; that removes a large amount of traffic just passin through BR. Large trucks, Texas, People just passing through. It is mainly farmland and Swamp, so I am thinking this would not be a huge right of way cost as opposed to throught EBR/East Ascensin/Livingston. Also, you include the bridge widening and ramp widening, finish the intertate to 6 lanes to Sorrento.

Wouldn't that bring traffic too far out of the way to make it a viable alternative?
Its probably 100 miles from Grosse Tete to LaPlace, then they would have to traverse the extra ~30 or so miles to get back to I-12. Easily looking at 130 miles vs the 60 or so from Grosse Tete to Hammond.
I do think putting an interstate from LA 415 down the west bank side all the way to 90 (Future I-49) would have a huge economic development impact on that area. Honestly those parish governments could probably get that done before BR got any type of loop or widening completed.
