Westbound I-10 in Louisiana is the absolute worst road we've been on. Don't go through Houston during rush hour.
Have you been on the route recently? I just had a response on another forum from someone who just drove it & said I-10 has been re-paved in LA & is fine except for a short stretch near Lafayette.
This is correct as of Feb. The rough road starts just east of Breaux Bridge and lasts until the I-49 interchange.Short section of thump-thump concrete in Baton Rouge and the Mississippi River crossing was being worked on.
The first 5 miles of Texas was rough because of construction on the east bound side.
Other than that, the section I drove - Crestview FL to Beaumont TX - was fine. Be sure to gas up before going west of Baton Rouge. The road west of there is 2-lane raise road above the bayou with not services an a narrow break-down lane.
