at least try and make the grand entrance into BR from the west look like we are attempting to give a shite about our towns appearance.

homie, this is Louisiana. There's no fixing ugly, here

The project is going to bring in three big cranes to remove, lower, treat and then replace each piece of limestone. While this is going on, any of the underlying concrete and steel in the exterior walls which needs some repair work will be handled at that time. Once they get below the observation deck and into the level of offices, they'll do 3-4 floors at a time, with the workers on those floors being re-housed somewhere else until their floors are done.

After this has been completed can we put a giant condom over the capitol building to 'protect ' it ?

The work order says to install the lights, not to check them or anything requiring initiative and common sense regarding their use.

How much of the state capital building is built of or faced in limestone?

With all the rainfall Louisiana gets, and some of it at hurricane wind speeds?

Even up here in Tennessee with less rainfall, anyone with kin in an old cemetery has seen the tombstones from the early 1900's and earlier crumbling from the erosion of limestone over the years.

Only in Baton Rouge where the “new bridge” is 60 years old.
Y'all shat on Shreveport constantly (for good reason) but at least it has several bridges over the Red River, including a much needed new Jimmy Davis Bridge being constructed now. It has nice parkways on either side of the river &………LOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 3132 & 220. Now, how did Shreveport get all of that funding decades ago, when BTR, the capital did not.

Red river vs. Mississippi river?
