The Capital Region delegation says its main priority for the legislative session that started today will be to make sure Baton Rouge gets four highway projects. The 26-member delegation says it plans to push for Interstate 12 widening from Range Avenue from Walker and for widening Interstate 10 from Highland Road to La. 73. The two other projects on the delegation’s wish list are new interchanges at Pecue Lane and at Westport. All of these projects will reduce congestion on the interstates. The delegation is already off to a good start: Plans to widen I-10 from Siegen Lane to Highland Road were approved today.
