I 10 across Louisiana

Has anyone driven this road recently. The last time I went this way it was the roughest road of the whole trip. Would like to take it again, if in better shape

I don't know when you traveled it last but last fall I-10 from Lafayette to BR was not fun, I-12 from BR to Slidell not bad, Slidell to Ms. line had some bad some good.

Unfortunately I have to go there frequently. Possibly the worst piece if interstate in the country. Plus it throws gravel and is a windshield breaker

We're in South LA right now. We've been on I10 some and US90 some. Both are rough is spots.

I travel I-10 a lot and yes it is rough. What would your other option be? I-20 is just as rough plus Jackson, MS is having a lot of road construction.

190 runs just north of I-10 and it's a nice road. You can get all the way to Covington, while enjoying the scenery.

Last year, we picked up three windshield rock chips on I 10/12. They are working on fixing it up, but loosing ground. Still worth the trip!

190 sounds like a great option. I'll be going through there in the next week myself..

I-10 between LaFayette and Baton Rouge/ Hwy12 was the worst road I've been on in years!

Anyone else have some input on taking 190 from Beaumont TX to Covington LA like bamaboy suggests?

Up date on part of I10. I got on I10 west at the intersection with US90 which is about mm 100 on I10. Except for through Lake Charles the road surface was good. There were a few rough patches but certainly nothing to make you think about a detour to dodge it.

I live in Louisiana. I-10 certainly some of the worst interstate in the country! That is what happens when you build over the top of swamp land!! There is nothing under some areas of I-10 so it is sinking so the end result is enough to shake your fillings loose!!
I-12 from Slidell, La. to Baton Rouge is alright, but the road construction has been going on for 2 years!! Don't know what the delay is, it only took 7 months to finish the interior of the Titanic!!
