SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 13
BY SENATOR DORSEY-COLOMB
A RESOLUTION
To urge and request that the Department of Transportation and Development incorporate an
East Washington Street exit plan for Interstate 10 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, into
its road design plan.
WHEREAS, past studies have considered a solution to improve safety for vehicles
traveling south on Interstate 110 through its junction with Interstate 10 to exit Interstate 10
at the East Washington Street exit in Baton Rouge; and
WHEREAS, following a 1995 study, the department modified the stripping and
signage of the Interstate 10/Interstate 110 interchange; and
WHEREAS, since 1995, traffic volumes in this area have increased and such
increased traffic impacts the operational safety of the exit from Interstate 10 to East
Washington Street in Baton Rouge; and
WHEREAS, vehicles traveling south on Interstate 110 through its junction with
Interstate 10 must cross the only lane of Interstate 10 for east bound traffic and compete with
a line of large trucks exiting the Horace Wilkinson Bridge to exit Interstate 10 at the East
Washington Street exit.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the Legislature of Louisiana
does hereby urge and request that the Department of Transportation and Development
incorporate an East Washington Street exit plan for Interstate 10 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
into its road design plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development.
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
