Did they do this to other state highways where the alternative routes were minimal?
The city/parish government took over responsibility for the street from the state in March 2014 in exchange for funding to overhaul it. I didn't know that was a thing until I read it a few weeks back.

That's not correct.
The City-Parish agreed to take over maintenance once DOTD upgrades the road.

Bidding for construction of the road diet, sidewalks and a roundabout at Lobdell Avenue will open in July, Kalivoda said. DOTD estimates the project will cost about $9.3 million and take approximately 18 months to complete, after which maintenance of Government Street will be turned over to the city-parish.
From April
ETA the bids were taken by DOTD, not the CP, and the estimate of 9.3 was wrong, the job came in at 11.2 million. It's already way over budget and it hasn't even started yet.

To get from Florida to Jefferson, one must either take the highly congested Foster to either left on College through the residential neighborhood or right on college and then left through Congested Corporate. Or, one must take the highly congested Lobdell, made so by the idiotic light cycle at Lobdell and Jefferson that only allows like 10 cars MAX onto Jefferson from Lobdell at rush hour.
I go from downtown to Towne Center every day after work. Takes 12 minutes max. Foster, Government, Jefferson. Boom.

So you think you are smarter than everyone else because you use Claycut and they don't???
Believe me I've driven BR streets for over 40 years and Baton Rougeans can find short cuts.
I love seeing all these incredibly smart people line up behind the train at Florida and Government when Spanish Town Rd and North Blvd have over/underpasses. So smart.
