A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to study the
feasibility of a new interstate interchange on I-12 at Louisiana Highway 1032
(4H-Club Road) and a new interstate interchange on I-12 at Louisiana Highway 16
(Pete's Highway).
WHEREAS, increased traffic volumes on I-12, Louisiana Highway 3002 (South
Range Avenue), Louisiana Highway 16 (Pete's Highway), and Louisiana Highway 1032
(4H-Club Road) in Livingston Parish continue to impact the quality of life and economic
development in the area; and
WHEREAS, traffic counts reveal that more than forty-five thousand vehicles exit the
I-12 interchange at Louisiana Highway 3002 (South Range Avenue) daily causing severe
traffic congestion; and
WHEREAS, the I-12 interchange at Louisiana Highway 3002 (South Range Avenue)
is the primary access into the city of Denham Springs and the community of Watson; and
WHEREAS, westbound traffic on I-12 exiting at the Louisiana Highway 3002 (South
Range Avenue) interchange backs up on the far right lane of I-12 creating an unsafe highway
hazard; and
WHEREAS, construction of a new interchange on I-12 at Louisiana Highway 1032
(4H-Club Road) and a new interchange at Louisiana Highway 16 (Pete's Highway) will
relieve traffic congestion and improve traffic flow in the area.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request that the Department of Transportation and Development study the
feasibility of a new interchange on I-12 at Louisiana Highway 1032 (4H-Club Road) and a
new interchange on I-12 at Louisiana Highway 16 (Pete's Highway) and to report its findings
and recommendations to the Senate and House committees on transportation, highways, and
public works not later than March 1, 2017.
