Sucks we’ll never have a full circle because of Barksdale.
I always wished we had another bridge across the red river that was north of 220 and not the one all the way up in Plain Dealing.

Industrial Loop, 3132, I-220
3132 and I-220 are part of the same partial loop, that’s not two loops. Bert Kouns is a surface street so who GAF.
If the industrial loop counts as a loop then BR has a loop with Airline Highway from I-12 to the old bridge to La 1 or 415.

I-69 will be a decent east side bypass for out of towners coming from the east or south when it’s built 50 years from now.

How in the frick does Shreveport have a 3rd loop and BR can’t get one?
Because when Kip Holden wanted a loop, the local citizens and politicians voiced disapproval, couldn't come to any agreements and therefore it was dropped.

It is. It extends the existing 3132 to the Port of Shreveport.

I did the environmental assessment for a large section of this project like 10 years ago

That was probably back when government was looking at completing 3132 to the port, which had long been the plan. Then a housing developer and dumb or crooked politicians screwed it up.
Now a private toll road operator is looking at doing the job, along with a new bridge over the Red River.
AI says: The Red River Expressway is a privately funded, 8-mile tollway project in southeast Shreveport. It aims to reduce commute times between south Caddo and Bossier parishes by linking Highway 3132 (at Flournoy Lucas Road) to South Bossier.

I think we're too hung up on the word loop. What is more important that it gives the Shreveport/Bossier area a total of six crossings over the Red River. That's got to be the most in the state. Add a 30 minute drive north and south for two more crossings, for a total of eight within an hour.

This is the correct answer. Shreveport has 3/4 of one loop. If they ever completed the 3132 loop to 220, it would be amazing. But considering 3132 may be the worst highway in North America, I doubt that will happen.
Also, while everyone in here is praising Shreveport's infrastructure, don't forget that I-49 opened up to I-20 30 years ago. They haven't been able to extend it by 3 miles to connect it to I-49 north since then. To think that there will be another "loop" in our lifetime is funny.

This an apples to oranges comparison. The inner-city connector hasn't been finished because of state issues acquiring the property. This new roadway is privately built through mostly unpopulated acreage.

Don’t forget the new Jimmie Davis Bridge.
A few minutes from my office. I never thought I'd be so intrigued by bridge building but man it's a pretty bad arse process.
That map is so blurry I can't even make out where the new loop is going. I know they are extended Clyde Fant south of the Jimmie Davis but don't know where it ends up connecting too.

That's great. Now why won't these a-hole politicians that represent North LA not vote for funding a new bridge in BR?
Posted on 5/28/26 at 10:15 am to hg
I live in Blanchard, my in-laws live in Benton, a new bridge would be a God send.

Do you or have you ever 3132ed, bro?
