Building a bridge elsewhere is not the reason Baton Rouge traffic remains fricked. They don't even know what they can do to fix it. Are we supposed to paralyze infrastructure everywhere else across the state while they conduct more studies that likewise conclude that they don't know how to fix it?

Not only is that merging into one lane the problem, but the sharp arse curve is too.
I travel the bridge 4-5 days per week, and there are times that traffic gets bottlenecked there going westbound. And there are two lanes going westbound. What happens, is people slow way the frick down on that sharp curve (mainly big trucks carrying cargo), and it creates a chain reaction of traffic. As soon as you get over the bridge, traffic is flowing like shite through a goose. I see this all the time, thinking there's an accident that's causing the wreck.
A bridge placed where the Plaquemine Ferry is would divert all those 18 wheelers to bypass Baton Rouge to keep going east on I-10 towards New Orleans. Of course, would need to 4 lane Hwy 30 to the interstate as well.
