I wonder if they can make that a single point interchange to help the traffic on Acadian. The additional left turn traffic on Acadian will probably cause some headaches.


They will need to do something, you do not have that much distance between the interstate and the light at Perkins to hold traffic waiting on the light. It will also be hard to exit and get in the left lane to turn left on Perkins during rush hours.

The interstate is generally for long trips.

Having entrances and exits so close together is poor planning.

That's a lot of the problem in BR. Washington, Dalrymple, Perkins and College all within approx three miles
Bridge ramp mile marker 155.1
Washington 155.7 /Louise 155.9
Dalrymple 156.2
Perkins 156.9
Acadian 157.7
College 158.3

Go frick yourself.

There's very few things I hate more than a Louisiana transplant living in Texas or another state constantly shitting on Louisiana at every opportunity he gets.

You're a piece of shite.

FIFY: outdated planning.

The Baton Rouge Expressway existed well before the Interstate system. Check the actual/projected traffic volumes from 1948/1970 in this LINK.

Only off by a factor of 10+

As a kid I vaguely remember the first leg of the expressway running east/west by Memorial Stadium

Im a piece of shite for calling out my home to get better?



How dare I do the following!

1) Talk about the inept state economy that only offers jobs for folks who want to work in a plant or in the gulf, or worse.

2) Talk about how inept the state legislature is, the one that continues to fail people who decide they are so fed up with the pandering to welfare recipients / raise in taxes every fiscal year, THEY LEAVE.

3) The inability to build anything within a budget nor on time.



I can go on and on, but they only thing you can seriously be upset about is the fact that you still shill for a failing state instead of being honest with yourself and see it for what it is.

Or maybe, just maybe you are okay with being last in anything worthwhile. I'm not.


Don't worry. I'll still be here to call out every little piece of dumb shite LA AND Texas does.

FOH, expecting me to feel bad about shitting on a place I stayed for 20 years

You live in Texas. Texas is your home. Not Louisiana. Nobody cares what you think. Talk about your own state.

I think it will help some but holy grail is a bit much. That's the loop that's never getting built.

You seem to care extremely about what I say when it comes to La apparently.

The Vegas and Austin skylines change completely in increments of time that BR can barely widen a stretch of road.

Yes.

Louisiana is not your home if you moved away. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

If you're not going to directly contribute to making Louisiana better, shut the frick up.
