I read somewhere that the I-49 leg in south Shreveport would take the 3132 route to 220 where it join the leg to Texasrkana. 49 from 3132 to I 20 would become a spur, like 149, 349, etc.; thus avoiding building a leg north of 20. An issue is the current ramp from NB 49 to WB 3132; it's one lane currently


That's the route pushed by the "Allendale is sacrosanct" crowd. As I understand it, 3132 isn't up to interstate standards and it would be very expensive to make it so; possibly more than a four mile connector north from I-20 to 220. It's been discussed in the Shreveport Times many times, but reporting is so bad, one doesn't get a clear picture of which route will prevail.

I was intimate with the NEPA process for the I-49 sections of US 90 between Raceland and the Westbank.


Then I may know you. At least attended the same meetings.

And I agree, environmental issues has been one of the biggest hurdles holding up the completion of the this section of I-49.

They help going through Lafayette. I followed them all the way down to Houma once.

It baffles my mind that some ignorant blowhards are attempting to block the most logical & direct route through decrepit Allendale. The Inner-City Connector would be the best thing to happen to this part of SHV.

I-49 would be the nicest thing in Allendale.

I'm more concerned about when they're going to build interstate 69 because you know.. 69.
