The roads especially in NBR in the Istrouma and Delmont area subdivisions are very close together. Building consistent bridges to cross these roads would be hard to do.

Yes, I remember them making parks out of the areas in Scotlandville and the state putting out picnic tables. They were all stolen the first week they put them out. Scotlandville always going to Scotlandville.

Those were the days.
Before I-110 was open my friends and I rode our dirt bikes from Hollywood where the barricades were setup to Scotlandville and back to Hollywood.

Hey nimrod, you do know that I-110 is in Baton Rouge?

Also in Biloxi, Pensacola, El Paso and Long Beach / Los Angeles. The Mississippi route is one of very few places on the Interstate Highway System utilizing a drawbridge.

Yep. Elevated freeways make excellent emergency dry land, as New Orleans and Houston (below) have learned.

Though I-45 near downtown Houston (Pierce Elevated) will possibly be removed and buried along the eastern side of downtown.

I believe research at the time showed that Interstates were separating communities because of few crossover points. Kinda like the railroad tracks if you are from a small southern town.

Poor people live on this side of the tracks, rich on the other.

Actually it’s Interstate 110 since it’s part of the Interstate Highway System.
