Jackson.

Jackson in general has terrible roads. I’ve been down some that are almost 4x4 only.

I-12 Covington

I-10 Beaumont

The three you mentioned can suck, but aren’t terrible in my experience.

Those three are generally fine. Not great by any one’s standards, but not terrible. Agree with the other poster about Beaumont, though I’d expand it from the state line to the other side of the city.

There are a few others that are worse:

US 90: Between Houma and Laffy, bumpy because of shoddy work on the bridges that make your car bounce

I-10 in East Texas near Orange that is alway under construction

I-10 in New Orleans: You have a good chance of getting shot at.

It's been a while, but the Pennsylvania Turnpike was the worst interstate I ever drove on.
And further, I had to pay a toll for the privilege of driving on it.

We have a winner. This stretch has been under construction for 30+ years. Mile 1 into Texas is a death trap.

Honorable mention, I once drove I-80 from Wyoming into Salt Lake City around 2a.m. and Thought I was for sure going to die.

Fortunately most could not hit the side of a barn if they were locked in it.

I’m still adjusting my neck from driving over the Franklin overpass the last time I went home.

The stretch from Shreveport/Bossier has been absolutely destroyed by frack tanks and trucks. There are potholes over a foot deep and the speed limit is 70. But hey, we can just put a tax of 1 cent for every gallon of gas and it will get fixed.....my arse.

I was going to post this. Drive through Pennsylvania for a while and other bad roads start looking much better.

Nothing wrong with it. it is the stupid people driving I-12 that are scared to drive over a bridge.

If we're talking about condition, I12 West basically as soon as you get into BR to the 10/12 split is impressively crappy.

Some highway outside of Memphis was very bad as well last time I was up there. Can't remember if it was interstate or not though.

I've driven all over the country. By FAR the worst roads we've encountered were in Indiana, I-65 and I-465 in and around Indianapolis.

Idk, but the job going on with La1 through the town of Plaquemine is one of the worst road construction efforts I’ve seen in a while.

I’ve done a couple of road construction projects.
Blows my mind how this was accepted and not corrected. IRI has to be through the roof on this.
