On Friday, the Chamber of Southwest Louisiana announced a new proposal for a new I-10 bridge. The proposed design would exist north of and parallel to the current I-10 bridge. Consisting of six lanes, modern lighting, walking/bike paths, 73-foot clearance, and shoulders.
The proposal would cost between $400 and $600 million and include an entrance and exit into Westlake over the railroad.

This is the new bridge architecture being used in the North, like the new Tappan Zee Bridge. BR should definitely be the one to get this and make it tolled. It'll pay for itself and keep the mouth breathing riff raff off.

What in sam hell frick would walking/bike paths achieve? Who is going to walk/bike between Westlake and the vacant casino parking garage? Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

Toll money; it will go into someone's pocket. No chance in hell it will used for the bridge maintenance.

How will the rolling work on a cross country interstate?
Seems like a lot of processing costs or a long line

The tolls will be set by the private company bidding on the project. They will also oversee the inspection and maintenance upkeep of the bridge. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with this in the next ten years?
In other words, the State has no money for your bridge, so if you want it, build it yourself.

I would be perfectly happy with a toll bridge in Baton Rouge.

My question is, how much of the approaching highway will be privatized along with the new bridge? Do the feds abandon everything between the two I-210 interchanges, since that would then be a restricted-access highway, or will the public still own all the way up to the base of the bridge?
To me, that makes a big difference in the viability of the toll bridge being able to pay for itself and keep up with maintenance. Anybody know that would work?
