An article by TW Starr Timothy Magner provides an update on the I-49 Inner-City Connector Project that is expected soon for a record of decision, setting the stage for a showdown for groups on either side of the issue. The I-49 Inner City Connector will be a new interstate facility approximately 3.6 miles in length. It is proposed to intersect Shreveport in order to connect I-49 at the I-20 interchange with I-49 North in the vicinity of the I-220 interchange, according to the Northwest Louisiana Council of Governments website for the project.
