HIGHWAYS: Urges and requests the Department of Transportation and Development to study the expansion of a portion of Lousiana Highway 21 to four lanes

This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to study traffic conditions on Louisiana Highway 21 between Bogalusa and the state line. The request specifically seeks recommendations for expanding this road to four lanes and adding a turning lane to improve safety and reduce congestion. If the study finds it feasible, the department must submit its findings to the state legislature by August 1, 2025. The proposal aims to provide better access to Interstate 12 and create an additional route for hurricane evacuations while addressing safety concerns near local schools.
