I love the idea of a Truck Only road. Imagine the congestion relief if it were able to optionally bypass major metropolitan areas (Baton Rouge I'm looking at you).

I have advocated for some time a toll road (the Zachary Taylor Tollway) running just north of Baton Rouge stretching from I-59 in Bogalusa to Vinton crossing the river in St. Francisville. We could then build toll roads on both sides of the river connecting 1-10 to the Taylor toll road making a square around the city.
It would be a HUGE relief to the i-10-12 corridor. Of course some people cannot see the very obvious benefit and would favor spending millions on a study to see it would be feasible.
Another alternative that I think would work would be a toll road between I-10 in Vinton crossing the state to Monroe and I-20. This too would take a lot of truck traffic off of I-10. All you need to see this is to look at a map and observe the traffic. Truck traffic falls off tremendously east of I-65 in Mobile. There are a lot of goods traveling between Tx/Mexico and the Midwest/Northeast. A road running to Monroe from the Southwest corner of the state would save a lot of miles and take a lot of traffic off of I-10.

It is, without question, 100% needed in Baton Rouge.
And I also wish Denham Springs would shut down that Pilot Truck Stop. The idiots that thought this was a good idea should be tar & feathered.
