I-10 & I-12

Sorry should repost this in Roads and conditions.

Drove thru there earlier this year.
There were some rough spots around Beaumont.
Inside LA about 50 milesish there is a stretch of elevated I 10 over a bayou that is very rough at 65mph (concrete seams) as in my trailer/pickup rocking up & down violently. I slowed down to 50 mph (much, much better ride) and turned on the flashers. After that I don't remember anything else that was really bad.

We just came back from N.O. (without the trailer).

10 from Slidell to 75 is all in good shape.

Moved to Roads and Routes.

Smoke It comes and goes just like any stretch in U S.

Between Lafayette, La and the Atchafalaya Basin bridge it is rough due to slab shifting. There is construction between Denham Springs and Hammond La that has lane shifts but all lanes are open. The rest is all good condition.

It's good that you slowed down on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge from 65 to 50 miles per hour. The speed limit for vehicles towing a trailer and for 18 wheelers on that bridge is 55 mile per hour and has been for a number of years.

Can't comment on the western end, but from Mobile through Florida, I-10 is a good road to travel.

I've always thought it interesting that if you blindly follow I-10, you get to go to New Orleans, whether you want to or not. The section of I-12 stays north of Lake Pontchartrain (and Nawlins) completely. I bet they get unplanned visitors all the time.
When I was in the Navy, I visited New Orleans by ship. They took our WWII Aircraft Carrier from the Gulf to the foot of Canal Street for Mardi Gras. We had about 1,000 cots set up in the hangar bay to house all the marching bands that were attending. It took two slow days and a local river pilot to get there from the mouth of the Mississippi. There were times when you could look straight down from the edges of the flight deck and see land - not water. New Orleans is almost 100 miles from the mouth of the Gulf.
It was one heck of a party, though.

Mobile to Biloxi is fine. Better than some.
