I also have a firm grasp on commerce and economics and understand that 180 mile stretch would mean more to Arkansas in the short term (10-25 years) than it would to Louisiana in that same span. While 45-50+ years out that may change, Arkansas and it's citizens would be the direct beneficiaries for a generation or more. The expenditure seems like a poor investment for the state of Louisiana and it's citizens in that sense.
so you don't understand geography...

you're the poorest state in America, so okay, go for that

Arkansas should pay for it. There isn't a whole lot going on in Mena since a certain boy from Louisiana got offed.

Yeah that’s the only thing stopping the Midwest from getting to New Orleans.
There isn’t an interstate running from Chicago to Laplace

SI was where my dad reported to the Army during the “Korean Police Action”. From there he took a bus to Washington State for basic training and spent the winter in the mountains. That killed any and all enjoyment for camping dad ever had.

BR can't handle any more traffic until the Great Loop is complete. I am certain the loop will get the green light any day now...

I'm sure Louisiana will get right on that
once it can figure out a way to pay for the Lafayette to NOLA part

I thought AR already received funds for it from the feds? Just like LA who completed theirs to the state line.

It would open up tourism to the entire Midwest United States down through Baton Rouge to New Orleans
Because we need MORE traffic down here, Louisiana should pay for a section of interstate that is completely in another state when we haven't even finished running it through our own state?

Louisiana stil can't even afford the stretch of I-49 through Laffayette, and you want us to pay for it go through half the state of Arkansas? 
Posted on 7/31/25 at 3:56 pm to Harry Rex Vonner
Was this worth a thread?

Hun, we can't get I-49 through Shreveport. Lol
Posted on 7/31/25 at 4:08 pm to Harry Rex Vonner
Arkansas doesn’t want us to have a faster route to Omaha
Posted on 7/31/25 at 4:21 pm to Harry Rex Vonner
As long as they give us the funds and Arkansas folks install it
I've seen their roads down there

You’re focusing on the wrong end of 49. They need to get it from Lafayette to New Orleans first. I’m sure it’ll be done soon. Only 50 years in the works

Louisiana wont even pay to finish it louisiana through shreveport. They aren't going to spend anything out of state.
Its being held up by some crack houses and projects that should have been bulldozed 25 years ago.
