Louisiana needs to complete I-49 from New Orleans through Houma to Lafayette. If this was a four lane Interstate, then it would be possible to move more people out.

Also, I don't see why I-10 is not 3 lanes in each direction from the Texas-Louisiana border all the way to the Alabama-Florida border. There is enough traffic... If they would have spent some money on this, that would have been for a real evacuation route (I-49), and I-10 tends to get jammed along the Gulf coast when these storms crop up...

Would not matter when the interstate does not have all lanes headed in the OUT direction. Kocal government failure.
