Editorial: Interstate fix at College Drive shows that government sometimes works well
When big projects find the right road to success, perhaps it’s good to give the driver some credit. The driver in this case is the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. From early anecdotal reports, the department seems to have succeeded with its new system merging westward traffic on Interstate 10 and I-12 near the College Drive exit in Baton Rouge. The flyover project features I-12 lanes now going underneath a new I-10 overpass, with an additional exit lane at College Drive to more easily serve drivers from both interstates. It allows I-10 drivers to avoid a rapid triple-lane crossing, against merging I-12 traffic, to reach College Drive.
