I think that billboard says "Hair Slang Guhz" or something like that

I know when I-12 was under construction Florida, Old Hammond, Coursey etc all sucked a lot worse too.

If they blow up the east bound side coming off the bridge, then do it right. Make it 4 or 5 lanes coming off that bitch. It's time to fix this correctly.

The problem isn’t the workers in Louisiana - it’s the politicians that stall projects in order to steal money

US 290 and I-610 in Houston took at least 5 years to complete it seems.

I-10 in Orange TX still seems to have endless construction.

Our friends in politics steal plenty as well. They just do it with efficiency so they can move on to the next project. Dragging it out wastes time and kickbacks.

Any why don't they build these sections offsite and bring it in? This should be an episode of engineering marvels.

Dragging it out in Louisiana gets the politicians more federal funds they can steal

Louisiana: We’re too poor and stupid to complete the protect, oh lookie, more money from feds bc we stay poor and stupid and can’t do anything

Has there been a time in the last 40 years that the interstate has not been worked on in BR?


I have been making regular trips to Baton Rouge for LSU games since I was in high School in the mid 80's and at no point has there ever not been some type of construction going on.

Also kids in WBR that go to private schools in Baton Rouge. Parents may think twice if it takes them 2-3+ hours a day getting kids to/from school.
