House Concurrent Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to assess the safety conditions at the Washington Street exit on I-10 in Baton Rouge and consider closing it. The resolution highlights the significant traffic congestion caused by this exit, which is used by over 102,000 vehicles daily and has been associated with numerous accidents, earning it the nickname "Devil's triangle of interstates." It notes past efforts to address the issues, including a failed grant application aimed at funding repairs in the area, and emphasizes that the exit is no longer necessary due to the availability of the nearby Terrace Avenue exit, which provides a safer alternative for motorists.

The resolution calls for the closure of the Washington Street exit to enhance safety and alleviate traffic congestion. It points out that the Terrace Avenue exit, which opened in October 2019 and cost $9.3 million, allows southbound drivers to access the Washington Street area without navigating through multiple lanes of traffic. By urging the Department of Transportation and Development to take action, the resolution aims to promote the safety of Louisiana's citizens and improve overall traffic conditions in the region.
