Consider bridging over from South Bluebonnet to WBR to give I-10 East and West A break trying to commute back and forth over the MS River. Especially for plant workers. Truckers and pass thru people need some relief.


Response:

During the Stage 0 Feasibility Study for this project, alternative regional transportation improvements were considered during the traffic study, including a new southern Mississippi River Bridge crossing and a Northern Bypass. Though these megaprojects will provide improved traffic flow through the Baton Rouge metro area, the I-10 Improvement through Baton Rouge is necessary to help alleviate congestion through the area.
