I-49

I meant I-12 Got confused.

I 49 is one of your best bets. You haven't said what you will be doing on the other southern end. Getting through Baton Rouge can be a problem try to cross BR after 6 PM and before the morning rush.

Unless you have a real interest in going to New Orleans I would take I-12 to bypass the city.

Just traveled it over the Christmas holidays. It is in good shape.

Thanks to all for the info. Heading for Florida tomorrow to get out of this arctic air!

Beats the heck out of old LA-1 or US-71. I remember a 7 to 8 hour drive on those before I-49 was built.

My son drove it last August - said the road is very good.

It's as good (or bad) as any other Interstate. I have taken the road many times and it's just fine.

I am off i49 and dont find it bad at all on the shreveport end
