Bill > HCR68

This concurrent resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to study adding a third lane to the Interstate 10 (I-10) East off-ramp at Siegen Lane in Baton Rouge. The resolution highlights significant traffic congestion issues at this interchange, noting that the current two-lane ramp is insufficient to handle the high volume of daily traffic, especially during morning and evening peak hours. The proposed third lane would aim to improve traffic flow, enable safer lane transitions, and reduce the likelihood of traffic incidents and emergency response delays. The resolution specifically requests that the DOTD conduct a study and submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on Transportation, Highways and Public Works by August 1, 2026, detailing the potential benefits of expanding the off-ramp. The document emphasizes that this infrastructure improvement is consistent with the DOTD's mission to enhance roadway safety, reliability, and efficiency, and is crucial for supporting economic vitality and public safety in the state of Louisiana.
