re: Let's talk about I-12 Baton Rouge

Giant chunks of concrete break off of the inside lane routinely. They desperately need to overlay.

And some auxiliary lanes between Airline and Sherwood would be a huge help.

picked up a rumor at Frank's one morning that the section between Airline and the Amite R. was going to get a smooth asphalt overlay once the patching was completed.

Also getting HOV lanes between Juban and College.

If they are really transitioning to asphalt from the concrete as the current layout, then I don’t look forward to that at all.

The entrance and exit ramps being the same ramp is the most retarded thing I’ve ever seen. It backs up the interstate every day M-F

About 100 years ago, just before Huey Long became Governor, Louisiana had about 50 miles of paved road in the whole state. Siphoning off or wasting road construction dollars quickly became a favorite source of graft/theft/mismanagement or whatever other phrase you wish to use. This has remained true no matter what party controls the state.

All you can do is get active politically and ask those career politicians the hard questions and then vote them out if you do not like the answer or resultant promised actions. Just remember this, the don't blame the governor as the legislature does have the veto power.

Is it plan still to go down to one lane for constuction between I-10 bridge and split (uncertain exact area) east and west, like in 2024?

That was never a plan. The plan was two lanes. A group of people don't want anything done and spread incorrect information. I saw the plans at a public meeting. It's hard to get correct information in the internet age.

How did places like the Biloxi, MS metro area foresee the need to three-lane their part of the interstate years before it became critical and parts of I-12 are still two lanes? Louisiana always seems to be playing catch from decades ago. You never see shite like it anywhere.

I-20 and the loop in Shreveport says hold my beer. Those are some fricked roads

Doesn't seem to stop people going 120+
