1-10 around Beaumont and orange have been under construction since its first day and seems like it will be until the end of mankind.
There is really not much of an easy way around the construction from mile 171 to 166 on 10. It is pretty easy to drive I-55 north to I-12 west and that will merge back with I-10 West. If you go this route stop at Middendorf’s Restaurant at a village called Manchac. It’s on the elevated portion of the highway. Trust me and take the exit because they don’t use signs. It’s soooooo worth it.
West bound on 10 at Baton Rouge crossing the little bridge is always crowded. It will get worse soon since a widening project is starting.
Basically there is no really good way to get through this mess. Best bet is go through between 9am and 3pm. (midnight is good too) but fortunately BR is not that big. Decent traffic info on 1150am if there is an “incident” somewhere.
