House Resolution No. by Representative Wyble urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a study on traffic conditions along Louisiana Highway 21, specifically from the intersection with Highway 10 in Bogalusa to the state line. The resolution highlights the long-discussed need for a four-lane expansion of the highway, which would improve access to Interstate 12, enhance safety, alleviate traffic congestion, and provide an additional hurricane evacuation route. It also emphasizes the importance of adding turning lanes to ensure safety, particularly for schools located along the highway, such as Varnado High School.

The resolution calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to make recommendations regarding the proposed expansion and turning lanes, with a report detailing their findings due to the House and Senate Committees on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works by August 1, 2025. This initiative aims to promote safe travel and improve traffic flow in the region while addressing potential safety hazards associated with the increased traffic volume resulting from the expansion.
