This is going to be an absolute shitshow.

I-10 will be at a complete standstill 24/7.

Ferries can’t run regularly to begin with.

Trying to rely on them for daily I-10 traffic is a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm interested to see if home prices where I bought in Mid-City go up from people trying to get more centrally located or down trying to get out of the mess completely.

How about working on that loop before you shut down I-10?

My office is likely going to go full virtual again whether they like it or not.

They have discussed changing things to have a skeleton crew in house at all times during this but I don’t think it will be workable with the gridlock we’re going to see.

I was at one of the public meetings for the project at the Main Library several months ago and heard that they may look at a way to getting truckers informed to take alternate routes if their travels take them through BR.

Like what routes? There really aren’t any that don’t add a ton of miles

I would probably just move or change careers if I had to drive across that every day.

This will be an historic disaster.

There are no routes for truckers to use that would save them any time and all would cost them way more in fuel.

As for the Plaquemine ferry, they are not reliable. Plus, as it is now you are waiting 45 minutes unless you hit it just right during non-peak hours.


Also, with all the work planned for major surface streets BR will be non-drivable for a while.

From a son that commutes this every day, they’d better add 2-3 more ferries.

Am I the only one that sees the irony that here in the 21th Century, we will have to resort to the 18th Century means to cross the river?

There will be no loop. Kip tried. Other parishes and citizens opposed a loop in such great numbers that it was shut down.

Now, it looks like people want to stop the progress on widening I-10 and fixing the one-lane at the new bridge in Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge will never make progress because any plan to make improvements gets stopped.

frick that I'll take the loop 20 minutes longer with no traffic on both. Bonus I don't have to deal with the basin bridge.
