If they don't get rid of the curve at the 110-10 merge, they are wasting their time. It doesnt matter if you have 100 lanes, coming down off that bridge then being forced into an 80degree turn is going to slow everyone and everything down.

I guess the state ran out of other bullshite to spend money on finally.

It's going to be a nasty few years but it will be worth it if they do it correctly.

Does this mean they've given up on any BETTER solution to the problem (i.e., a loop or a bypass)?

I’ll look at this as glass half full. It’s not a study. It’s announced expansion for two lanes instead of one.

One small step forward.

This is stupid. They haven't even applied for the money yet. This is all tied to "if" funding is approved.

The only location along the interstate's 2,400 miles between Jacksonville, Florida, and Los Angeles, California, where traffic does not share two or more lanes is eastbound just after the Highland Road exit and the foot of the bridge in eyeshot of downtown Baton Rouge.


I wasn't aware of this one lane section. I checked google earth and can't see any place along that stretch that is one lane??
