Anybody know why I-910 was never signed?

Or unless you want to do a MI-5, and put up a sign in Lafayette at I-10 and say "I-49 South Ends, I-49 East Begins". Although unconventional for the choice of number, it does all I-49 a continuous route although bidirectional.

Just make it either I-6 or even I-8. It may be going south, but if look at the whole freeway it does more east-west, which doesn't warrant it to be I-49.

...My avatar voices my opinion on the whole "I-49 South" issue. :banghead:
Anyway. As for I-910 not being signed, I believe that Louisiana couldn't be bothered to sign it, since (in their view) they'll have to change the shields in a couple of years from 910 to 49. In their eyes, better to just wait til they can hang the 49 shields.
(What none of them in Baton Rouge seem to realize is that things take forever to get built around here, so honestly, I don't see I-49 getting signed in New Orleans in my lifetime. They may as well hang the damn 910 shields.)

I-810, anyone?

True, but I-49 eventually will run to Kansas City some day.

Louisiana actually has another case of "two Interstates, one termini" in the common south end of I-59 and east end of I-12 at I-10 in Slidell. Not all of I-49 should have the I-6 number, just the portion south of I-10 in Lafayette, running east to NOLA. The rest of the north/south route between Lafayette and KC is just fine as I-49.
