Is taking 190 the new norm?

...when coming from I-10 west and trying to get through Baton Rouge? The last 5 times I've had to do this regardless of what was or wasn't going on, I've had to backtrack to the Grosse Tete exit and get to 190 to cross the bridge. Is this just the new norm now?

I always take 190 from Opelousas on.

I do what Waze tells me.

No, but heavy traffic days will lead people to go a different route.
Who knew?
Oh and quit causing congestion on my side of the River. 190 in WBR is for local traffic only

I've been going from BR to Ft. Worth several times each year since the early '90s, and I've always preferred to exit I-10 at 415, go North to 190 and take it to Opelousas.

I often get off 10 at 415 and take the Huey Long bridge into town.

No, no one should use it.

There is a better way.

Take the damn loop and stay off of 190, makes too much traffic for me in Lakeland...

After yesterday, it's the new norm for me. 
Posted on 11/19/16 at 1:31 pm to BabyTac
Yes. I have to be in a pretty good mood to even attempt I-10 now.

I live in Lafayette and work at the BR airport, 190 every time. The only question is do I go up I-49 or take I-10 to lobdell. Either way I don't ever get on the "new" bridge unless it's before 6 AM or after 9 PM.

Because it's 20 miles shorter?
That's what you're supposed to do when heading north.

Yes. I know. That's precisely why I've always done it.

When returning from Laffy during the day I always take 190. Been doing this for 5 or 6 years now, much less traffic, 20 minutes faster than I-10 most days.
Posted on 11/20/16 at 9:36 am to BabyTac
depends on time of day, and what part of BR I'm heading to...
life is so complicated.

If by new, you mean I have been doing that since I49 opened, then yes
