ROADS/HIGHWAYS: To study the feasibility of widening a certain portion of Louisiana Highway 16 to four lanes.

This concurrent resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to study whether widening a specific stretch of Louisiana Highway 16 in Livingston Parish from two lanes to four lanes is feasible. The request focuses on the section between Highway 1019 and Highway 1022, an area experiencing heavy traffic congestion near growing communities like Denham Springs and Live Oak. The study will evaluate factors such as traffic volume, road safety, and design features before submitting findings to state legislative committees and relevant officials by February 1, 2025.
