Looks like the Louisiana leaders are talking about tolling the I-10 Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge...

If it is tolled, I hope the money is used entirely for the upkeep of the bridge, and not diverted to other uses.

This seems a little out of Sync with the reality and even what the video said.

Yes, Louisiana intends to toll the replacement I-10 bridge in Lake Charles.
Yes, Alabama intends to Toll the I-10 (BYWAY) bridge in Mobile.

Louisiana does not have a serious proposal to replace the current I-10 bridge at Baton Rouge. Right now the focus appears to be a bridge southeast of Baton Rouge.

There is a new bridge on LA-1 over the intercoastal waterway that is tied very closely to I-10 as there are no exits on LA-1 between I-10 and the south bank of the canal. It will be tolled.

None of the pictures in this video were of any Baton Rouge Bridge.

Here is a more in-depth discussion of bridges over the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge
