PenguinXL2:
Baton Rouge needs more more interstates. Also, if I-12 ever expands past I-10 to continue to Texas towards Dallas , then I'd be happy.

Anthony_JK:
Where, exactly, would you put them?? Other than I-110 being a potential (maybe) I-53 (with an upgraded US 61), and I-12 extended west along US 190, there isn't really any place to put any more Interstates.

This. I could see an I-53 running along a corridor from Vicksburg or Jackson to Natchez, crossing the river at the Old MRB, then running along LA 1 to Houma... but that's the only stretch that might be an Interstate. Baton Rouge doesn't know how to manage three Interstates (10, 110, 12), so let's not add any more, please! What about "Shreveport somehow has a better infrastructure than Baton Rouge" with more bridges, more Interstates, less congestion, and a soon-to-exist passenger rail line, along with two airports?

jbnv:
Let's fix the Mississippi River Bridge cluster first. Once rush hour traffic lined up all the way back to Grosse Tete isn't a typical weekday occurrence, then we talk about creating new interstates in and around BR.

Tbh there is no need for I-12 to be extended to Dallas, for I-10 to I-49 to I-20 would do the job just fine.
