Exit numbers on Future I-49 Corridor.

[Hot Rod Hootenanny]

Who the hell is Watson Bros.? Perhaps "Watson Bros Gun & Rifle Manufacturers"?

<shrugs> I don't remember them.

I don't know how accurate they are, but here are some of the exits along US 90

215A LA1 Thibodaux, Lockport
215B LA 308 Raceland

210 LA 182 Houma

202 LA 24 Houma Thibodaux

200 LA 311

194 LA 20 Chacahoula

189 LA 20 Gibson

185 LA 662 to LA 182


The more I look at these, though, they look like Mileage to the LA-TX line instead of future I-49

Yes, I recall the Watson Brothers.  But that's a HUGE stretch on your part to take that and get your "most of us" comment out of it.

NE2 was right...fictional highway.

[agentsteel53]

personally, I'd renumber that stretch of US-90 to I-99.

or US-220.

Those exit numbers use US 90 as a base.

Problem is, even if you manage to use I-6 or I-8, you will still have to change the exit numbers anyway, since US 90 won't directly connect to I-10 at the I-10/I-49 interchange (it branches off of the current Evangeline Thruway at Mudd Ave).

I'm sure that the costs are factored into the total amount for constructing the extension to begin with.

Also, if the infamous proposed I-10/Claiborne "boulevardization" in N.O. were to take place, you would have the possibility of having to move the current I-49/I-10 "milepost zero" to a different location, which could create another renumbering problem  .

Possible scenario:
I-10 above Claiborne torn down and "boulevardized";
I-610 changed to I-10;
Current I-10 from current western I-10/I-610 interchange to Claiborne re-designated as I-49 instead of an I-x10.

One of so many reasons why this "Claiborne Boulevard" concept is a horrible idea. Have I-49 start north by going due south...yeah, right.

Drifting off-topic here, but I don't think it's that horrible an idea.  Certain infrastructure improvements would have to be made before it could happen, however.

Exit numbers can be fudged. Look at I-40 in Tennessee; they didn't renumber all the exits when it was moved onto I-240 in Memphis.

Not only that, but the infamous "I-585" in South Carolina as well.

And, the shorter current I-610 routing for the "new" I-10 would give LaDOTD the opportunity to make New Orleans a "double fudge" town.
