No brainer. Probably #3 on the list actually.

About as much Casino money goes to roads as lottery money has gone to improve schools and education for the last 30 years.

That’s already done.

Just route I-49 around 3132 and I-220

What they should use the money for is extending closing in the loop around Shreveport

That’s going to pay for a lot of study’s and a little bit of roads

not just this state, but this country is fricked. Spending money they don't have and bending hard working citizens over in the process. So tired of this shite, bad policy and spending gets rewarded by the government just printing more fricking money.

Does that mean they can't build a useless, pointless commuter rail with that money?

The DOTD is going to spend ~ $3.50 million on replacing and straightening this sign:

3132 is rough as a gd cob and should be rebuilt regardless if it’s to become 49. Even the new 49 north of town is rough and it’s brand new. These fricks can’t do shite right.

None of it matters if we don’t get a BR loop

If you have I-49 from New Orleans to I-10 in Lafayette then you don't need a southern bypass in Baton Rouge. You need a Northern bypass to divert truck traffic off of I-12 in BR.

I49 from Lafayette to Nola is a huge waste of money.

They might as well just get started on the bridge projects now. It takes about 10 years to build them.

Baton Rouge needs a new bridge south of the city regardless if I-49 from Lafayette to New Orleans is ever built.

I-14 being authorized in this legislation would be good to help regionals. Also decreases need for the loop.

Loop needs a bridge. And there is allegedly funding for the bridge in this.
