Why is I-12 not just part of I-10? The part of I-10 that goes through NOLA should be named something else.
What do you want it to be called?
I-10(a)
I-10S
I-10 2: Electric Boogaloo?
I-10 was built first and connected through NOLA. 12 came a decade later when they decided a norther route would help connect the north shore and provide faster access to 55/59.
Despite the fact that 12 spurs both ends off of 10, it’s still it’s own interstate.

Natchez just got cut out by all the major road systems. You have to want to go to Natchez. Natchez died with the cotton plantations. It’s still a nice town though. I think I have stayed at every plantation there at least once as I had to go there for work for weeks at a time years ago.
Vicksburg did get destroyed by major civil war battle siege as shown by the national battlefield park there but not really sure why it didn’t do better. It’s on 1-20 but really doesn’t have any industrial base at all. Both used to have some tire plants, paper mills m, etc but most all of those shut down years ago. Casino gambling was actually passed in Mississippi to help those cities economically and the gulf coast was an afterthought to get the thing passed. It obviously helped the Biloxi area the most but not sure that it did that much for Vicksburg.

Always wondered why there wasn’t an east-west route through Alexandria in the interstate network. Natchez too.
Also seems like there should be a north south route going from Baton Rouge to Natchez to Monroe all the way to Little Rock. This to connect New Orleans to Kansas City.

They put I-10 through New Orleans for the economic impact. They thought a 3 number spur through New Orleans would hurt the city. Little did they know back then they had bigger problems coming.

The straight-line nature of that stretch of Hwy 71 (Lebeau to Krotz Springs) is telling when the most practical route should have been Lebeau > Melville > Baton Rouge. Or at least it appears that way.
If the bridge at Krotz springs was already there then they would've had to build a new one at Melville which would have probably cost a lot more

and where else would they put the speed traps?

Elick has always been a sleepy agricultural town.

July 4th in Vicksburg is known not as we know it as Independence Day. It actually goes by “surrender day” there as it was also the day that the city was surrendered to the Union army many years later
The cities in our country would look much different had the other side won. It is no coincidence that the countries most famous historical cities are primarily in the north

I-12 gives us a safer route around NOLA. Haven’t heard of any snipers on 12. Only terrible drivers.

Hwy 190 was to pass through Melville but the local politicians pissed him off.

Interstate 14 has been authorized, but hasn't been funded, and no indication when or if it ever will

I-14 is open in the US 190 corridor from Belton to Copperas Cove, Texas.
