JBE holding a press conference now LINK

quote:

The governor announced design-build solicitation for widening project of I-10 from Highland Road in East Baton Rouge Parish to LA 73 (Prairieville) in Ascension Parish.

Officials said a design-build method streamlines the process, because the same contractor both designs and constructs the expanded roadway.

The stretch of interstate that will be widened is about 7 miles long. It would be widened from four to six lanes.

Would you prefer they don't do projects that many people on here constantly say they should?

Now if only they would put an entrance/exit ramp at 74 life would get much better.

People like CNTBOX need those threads so they can feel like they know more than the city officials.

Too short imo.

It needs to be widened all the way down to New Orleans.

A new MS bridge from Plaquemine to a widened LA 30 would ease congestion much more than anything else.

Do you seriously feel this way? I commuted from NOLA to BR 4 times a week for two years and think that would be extremely overkill and a waste of a lot of money.
