I hope they aren’t planning on keeping the new Nicholson exit off the bridge the way it is

It is a disaster especially if the light only lets 5 cars go at a time.

I googled “ dotd, Baton Rouge, Nicholson”, here’s what I got.
Looks like the improvements are slated to start today. Details in wafb article.

I don't really understand why they moved it to Oklahoma Street.

Seems like if they wanted the exit to connect to river road, they could have just extended Terrace to River Road for much less.

It would be fine coming off the bridge if idiots would stop trying to bust a illegal U turn or stop traffic to cut through that parking lot to turn left.

How about they just destroy all the shitty neighborhoods down there, and just rebuild an entire new stretch of lanes, exits, highways, and on ramps.

The more cars that exit Nicholson as soon as they cross the bridge, the better.

I take that exit every single work day and that is not what is causing backups. Sure, every once in a while it would be backed up on the ramp but that was the exception. The bridge is backed up because of going down to one lane and everyone knows it. For them to act like this is going to help congestion on the interstate is such a joke.

Having I-10 compress to one lane is the problem and everyone knows it. I-10 is the main corridor. The state should make I-10 2 lanes with no compression and make the I-110 compress. With this, the barricade on the left could be extended to eliminate I-110 vehicles from using the Terrace Street exit. It ain't rocket surgery.

I think this is a way more functional layout for the highland exit. A light (the one that went away at terrace)should never be at the foot of an exit.

You still get to circle back to Nicholson it’s just one block further.

This is a good move.
