It’s going to absolutely suck for i12 drivers now if it’s going to remain the way it’s currently setup. Ugh.

This isn’t the finished layout, but the way it is today is how it’s going to be for the near to mid future while construction continues.

You should try working from home. It’s the latest thing.

Drove it at 0630 while raining, and no kidding, I was impressed.

Done quite well in all honesty.

Musk cut the funding, it's going to stay this way for 10 years.

Yea you sort of get dumped into the left most lane merging from 12 while batting other traffic coming from 10. Getting off at college could be a bitch.

Just temporarily until the dedicated exit is finished.

Long term the people most inconvenienced are the I-12 westbound drivers who get off at Acadian. But it’s going to be better for pretty much everyone else.

I took it yesterday, seemed fine. What's the big issue, getting over to college?

Getting over to college and also the flyover lane was blocked off and caused ppl to have to remain in the full speed traffic lanes until the last minute to get on the flyover to go eastbound i10. This was at 5 am this morning.

With no traffic you’ll be fine but at 730 am with the normal traffic it’s going to suck if you need to get off college.

I'll probably just start getting off at Drusilla until it's done. I do have to get off at College normally.

This is pretty much how it's been for those traveling 10W and trying to access the College Drive exit for the past 30 years.

People that drive 12 are the cause of Baton Rouge traffic. I’m glad they finally feel the pain a little. How’s that $20,000/year saving on school tuition feel now?
