Senate Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to find an alternative solution to the prohibition of large commercial vehicles on a section of Interstate 20 in Bossier City, specifically between Hamilton Road and Industrial Drive. This resolution highlights the importance of this stretch of interstate for local, state, and national traffic, especially in light of ongoing construction that has negatively impacted access to essential businesses in the area.
The resolution notes that the prohibition has led to numerous traffic tickets for commercial drivers and emphasizes the need for a more effective approach to address the challenges posed by the construction. It calls on the Department to consider viable alternatives that would support the local economy and align with the administration's commitment to innovative solutions, as championed by Governor Jeff Landry.
