Project Purpose & Scope
Louisiana DOTD has undertaken this project to improve capacity of I-10 through Baton Rouge to alleviate congestion and reduce travel times. The interstate mainline will be widened by the addition of one travel lane to both directions, from LA 415 to the I-10/I-12 split.
Redesign and reconstruction of I-10 through Baton Rouge will improve interchanges by lengthening acceleration and deceleration lanes, reduce opportunities for weaving, and provide wider shoulders for emergency use.
The project also includes improvements to several adjacent surface streets including lane additions and roundabouts to improve traffic flow. Community enhancements such as sidewalks, lighting, parking, and a multi-use path are planned within State right-of-way.
