Bert Kouns and the Inner Loop are two separate roadways. I220 changes into 3132 (Industrial Loop) which is also called the Inner Loop.

West Bank with WBR and Iberville parish will not agree to where it should be.it amazes me that there are such little bitches in politics that people can’t just come together and say, let’s get this done

You new here? You live in a place that tolerated an Interstate condensing to one lane for decades. Baton Rouge is a shithole.

This is what BR needed because it's never getting a Loop.

A "Southern By-pass" was Proposed ....however it would have cut across the Bluff Swamp/ Spanish Lake preserve. So they Cancelled it.

My proposal would have gone a lil further South ; parallel Hwy 30 near Tanger Mall in Gonzales

It could have tied into Hwy 415 Extension in WBR with New Intracoastal Bridge....the New Mississippi River Bridge would have gone into BRUSLY ....
But the NIMBY's shut it down

How in the frick does Shreveport have a 3rd loop and BR can’t get one?


It helps to have had comparatively limited population growth/sprawl and relatively minor geographic/industrial obstacles to contend with as compared the BR area. The Mississippi is enough of a challenge on its own, as there are very few places the Army Corps will allow a bridge to be built. But then you’ve got all these wetlands issues, especially to the South.

Not exactly true with this new Red River parkway. This new extension is being built between nice 12 oaks sub & really nice Esplanade Sub. They were fighting it hard but route was filed first & hoods were given plenty of notice.

I-220 is a loop.


It is not

A loop goes completely around a city like 610 or 8 in houston
