This isn’t new. It’s
Been discussed for about a year now.

The interstate has reached the end of its life span (elevated portions) and repairs need to be made.

With the murder rate in that area...it shouldn't be a problem.

And before anyone mentions my Dad...it was in that area. He was just ahead of the times.

Up to one year in Louisiana means up to one decade. Good luck.

That’s precisely the same number of lanes that the DOTD designed EB I-10 with in the late 1960s!

This is outrageous!

Stop the project and let's try again in 10 years.

Traffic will be backed up to Gonzales going west bound and to the basin bridge or worse heading east bound. It will take hours / days to get anywhere.

Whoever came up with this plan is an idiot

The approach and exit from the bridge will be the worst,

Each will be reduced to one lane each direction, one lane on the curved inclined approach to the bridge with opposing traffic in the other lane , can you imagine the back ups without a wreck or breakdown?

An 18 wheeler breaks down on that section of interstate about once a week. Going to be fun

Might as well have two trucks at every exit ready to pull people out the way.

I hope these improvements don't get killed because of scare tactics like this.

Something needs to be done.

They coulda/shoulda built a bypass for thru traffic before this and it wouldn't gave been such an impending disaster.

Might work out good, 1/2 the people won’t get to the stadium before the end of the second quarter
