Stay the frick away from St.Gabriel. Their PD will pull every damn car over, and write them all tickets for going 2mph over the limit...jamming traffic in the process.



While I would agree that their cops are a little ridiculous in number, they're not pulling everyone going 2mph over at all.
How fast were you going?

Not a civil engineer but just looking at Hwy 77 it's easy to tell it doesn't meet the standards for Interstate highways. Too many curves. And 77 was never meant to handle that much volume either.

I still think you need a bypass to I-12

Excellent work.

I think the best crossing is at Plaquemine Point just south of Dow though. I think that would draw more traffic from the I-10 bridge and more toll revenue.

Northern portion would require freeways to feed more traffic to the US190 bridge. They'd have to get Airline moving again.

That would help a lot.

Wet to south could be problem with mitigation & permitting. Also, a bridge in the middle of a meander bend can be a nav issue.

It could easily be done, just look how simple the original plan was? He could do a green line and draw a northerly by pass if he wanted.

Seriously you don't need a loop per se, several bypasses would work. The one drawn is an example.

But how does this alleviate all the truckers using the I-12 to bypass NOLA and the congestion from the bridge to the 10/12 split?

Exactly the speed limit. Another topic for another day.

Looks like 750 million dollars of wetlands mitigation, environmental impact studies, and imminent domain alone.

Ha. Just watched one cop pull over 3 different people in St G after I put him up on Waze.

Excellent point. We may even having flying cars before it is built.


That's about the time we'll finish it.
