re: I-10 between LA state line and Beaumont

Unfortunately I have to drive this route to Houston regularly for work.
The stretch of I-10 west of the TX state line is fricking terrifying. Narrow as frick lanes with concrete barriers on both sides and huge fricking pot holes and humps. I just make sure I’m not on the side of any semi trucks as I’m going through that section of the death zone.
Whoever’s in charge of construction there should be hung by their neck from an overpass.

The stretch of I10 between Beaumont and the state line was under construction when I enrolled at LSU in the fall of 1997. My entire adult life I have never driven through there when it wasn’t.

But at least in that stretch, they are working and trying to add lanes (ever so slowly). Whereas in LA, they are making no attempt to fix
Slowly is an understatement, I looked at Google street views of the construction zone.
A life sized Mariokart track is an understatement. It is more like a death trap with no lane markers.
Now for comparison sake, LA DOTD is rebuilding some bridges on I-10 in New Orleans East, at least they found a way to keep 3 travel lanes but you do have make some tight lane shift curves at 60 MPH or faster depending on your speed (I have seen some cars speed through there) and there is no shoulder with barriers on either side.
My brother has to go to George H W Bush Airport on Wednesday and has to drive through that fun zone. I will be sure to warn him.
504 Road Trips recorded a trip through there back in 2018.
504 Road Trips US 90 West Vinton To Orange Go to 6:45 for construction zone
WTF why is that area always under construction? Is a TxDOTD engineer getting blackmailed by the contractor to keep this area always under construction for doing Aggie things?

There is a 18 wheeler rest stop just before it and at 4AM they pulling out going 25 mph and screw you if you’re in the right lane. They coming and you better beware.
Move your arse over. Plenty of room in the left at 4am
