The House Concurrent Resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to study the feasibility of adding a third lane to the Interstate 10 (I-10) East off-ramp on Siegen Lane in Baton Rouge. This area is identified as a heavily trafficked interchange that frequently experiences congestion, particularly during peak hours, due to its current one-lane configuration that transitions into two lanes. The resolution highlights the negative impact of this congestion on commuters, commercial vehicles, and emergency response times, emphasizing the need for improved traffic flow and public safety.

The resolution calls for a thorough examination of the potential benefits of expanding the off-ramp, which could alleviate traffic issues and enhance safety for the thousands of motorists who use this route daily. It also aligns with the Department of Transportation and Development's mission to improve Louisiana's transportation infrastructure. The Department is required to submit a report on its findings regarding the proposed expansion to the relevant legislative committees by August 1, 2026, ensuring that the issue is addressed in a timely manner.
