LA or MS always, one or the other or both, have the road torn up near the Mississippi river bridge. So it seems like there is always a traffic jam, the east bound lane was backed up for miles when we went thru going west. Stay on I-12 when you get near New Orleans.
No construction at the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge but it is the only place on I-10 between California and Jacksonville Florida where it turns into 1 lane. Construction south of I-12 going to N.O. but you should take the I-10/I-12 split east at B.R. and avoid N.O. Watch speed limit in B.R. on I-12. East bound traffic is heavy from about 3:00 P.M. until about 7 P.M. and should be avoided. Road is very bad near mile marker 25 at Lake Charles and east of Lafayette for several miles.
Careful going east before you enter the tunnel at Mobile. The curve before the tunnel can be challenging if going beyond posted speed limit.
Road is very bumpy for several miles east of Lake Charles near mile marker 25 and east of Lafayette until the Basin.
