As I said in another thread, the problem has been there for 30 years and yet we're 20 years away from a solution.

The “new” bridge was supposed to be built between Brusly and Addis in ‘68
The state politicians moved it to BR

Got stuck backed up to about the 415 the other Saturday because of a wreck at the Perkins exit. And it was only like 3:30.

Luckily I bought a house near where I work so I don’t have to experience it too much. How the rest of you masochists drive everyday to and from LP/AP, or anywhere downtown around that fricking bridge, I have no idea.

I never heard that, but that would have been better than where it is now.

People's inability to drive in basically a straight line is astounding to me.

People who cause accidents like this should be drug out of the car and shot on site. Car pushed to the side and traffic resumes.

Politicians complain about texting and driving so the car companies responded by putting big arse iPad sized screens in all the vehicles and we wonder why people are always distracted

That is a bit extreme. I would build a gantry crane with a big claw on the new bridge. Drop vehicle in River while live streaming it with closeups of the owner watching.

Driving in from TX traffic backed up halfway to Gross Tit, when they gonna fix this situation?


That’s a GOOD day fool. Usually it’s backed up ALL THE WAY to Gross Tete. Town of Rosedale making bank on all that extra traffic.

The ‘new bridge’ has been ‘pushed back’ by at least two years.

I came through about 4pm headed from Mississippi to Texas…. Fender bender in the middle lane at the base of the bridge. Refused to move until cops came and took us almost 2hrs to split traffic around them.

How about we don’t narrow I-10 to one lane coming into town?
