East 190 From Lake Livingston Tx to Slidell La.

[LeeB]

I'll be leaving Lake Livingston the day after Memorial Day heading to Slidell La to visit an old friend. I'll be in kind of a hurry cause I need to be in Manchester Tn on June 2nd. I'll head up I-59 towards Manchester Tn.

The reason I ask is because 190 looks like it might be just as fast as I-10 and 190 looks like it might be more enjoyable.

Thanks much for your thoughts.... LeeB

we ran US190/LA12/TX12 between Baton Rouge and Beaumont several years ago and did find it better, sometimes a lot better, sometimes marginally better in terms of road conditions, than I-10. If it were me making your trip, I'd drop off of 190 west of Baton Rouge down to I-12. We found I-12 to be a much, much better road than I-10.

I live on 190 in west Louisiana when going to Baton Rouge from here it is a coin toss to take us190 or la26 to i10 in Jennings then i-10 across. Either way I would pick up i12 east of baton Rouuge



Ps note the i10 i12 interchange is often a traffic jam in Baton Rouge

Issac is correct about dropping off 190 to I-12 EAST of Baton Rouge. That's what I meant to write in my reply.

Thank you both so much. I’ll take your advice. LeeB
