BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Construction to simplify the process of exiting to College Drive from I-10 will begin in March, according to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD).

“The idea that we’re going to have nearly a half mile exit ramp for college from I-12 and I-10 is going to make that intersection a lot smoother and eliminate some of the mainline traffic and congestion you see on i-10,” said Dr. Shawn Wilson, Secretary of DOTD. ....
