Live Oaks in median at 10/12 split removed. . .

I recall being pleasantly struck by the interval growth of the live oaks in the median at the 10/12 split upon moving back to BR after Katrina, and I've enjoyed watching their growth since then.
I was surprised to see them all removed yesterday.
They were well away from the road and on the verge of being full-grown majestic trees.
Are they planning to do some road work/expansion (in 15 years) that required the removal? It is a real shame

I believe they are doing a flyover lane on 10 so people won't have to merge 3 lanes to get to College/Acadian. It definitely looks different without the trees between the two interstates.

yep, doing a flyover for the college drive exit for the west bound I-10 haulers, prevent the wild multilane squeeze play going through the westbound I-12, that causes a lot of back ups going westbound.
Part of the I-10 expansion to the bridge.

Baton Rouge Green (a great organization - batonrougegreen.com ) is going to replace them 2 to 1.

Stop spending so much time staring at trees and read a newspaper or some local news site. There is a current project underway at the split.

Doesn't seem like all of the trees would be in the way of that.

That really is a shame. What the frick was the state thinking there? They were going to be beautiful one day!
