People in Shreveport and Monroe don't want to pay for a new bridge in BR. Although this is short sighted and provincial, it's a problem.
From the standpoint of Shreveport and Monroe, it's not shortsighted and provincial at all.

Right. Pay for your own damn road.
Tolls are the answer. In Texas, the fight against tolls centers on the state collecting tolls long after the road is paid for. However, there is no doubt the tolls pay for the project. You could build 2 loops, one north and one south, which is what is needed, with zero state outlay. Road construction companies in Texas specialize in this. It seems Louisiana is resisting cracking the seal on the state's first toll road, even though Texas and Florida have many.
As an aside, I can't help but notice the lightly trafficked Audubon bridge in St. Francisville, how in the hell did that thing get built?
