There's always more studies followed by more excuses. It's absolutely pathetic that nothing gets done to help resolve the issue.

I think it's rated for 50k cars a day and gets like 120k.

Nope, no problem there.

It amazes me how much faster people drive on the interstate that early in the morning. I'm heading north bound to Exxon that time of morning doing 75 and I'm getting blown off the road. It's crazy

I drive from Acadian to Highland/Perkins and back everyday for work. Most interstates around BR I go 70-75. But to and from work I have to go at least 80 just keep up with the flow of traffic.

You guys give us Floridians grief but one thing we got is traffic flow! and a highway loop around most of our major cities. I don't miss driving to Baton Rouge on a daily basis. Louisiana highways trashy

I'm convinced Kathleen Blanco put some type of car disabling device on that bridge. How everybody seems to hold off on breaking down until they're over water is beyond me.

Do you have any clue what a disaster that would be in Baton Rouge? These stupid frickers can't drive over a BRIDGE.
