House Concurrent Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to make necessary improvements to Interstate 12 (I-12) in Livingston Parish. I-12 is a crucial transportation corridor in Louisiana, with approximately 70,000 vehicles traveling on it daily. It serves as a major hurricane evacuation route and economic artery for the state. However, the interstate has been plagued by significant congestion and elevated crash rates, including several serious and fatal accidents over the past year, highlighting the urgent need for enhancements.

The resolution specifically points out safety concerns at the I-12 and I-55 interchange in Tangipahoa Parish, where heavy commercial traffic and complex merging patterns have led to numerous collisions and traffic disruptions. Common improvements suggested for interstates include widening projects, interchange reconstruction, asphalt overlays, concrete median protection, and bridge replacements. The resolution calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to take action to address these issues and improve safety on I-12 in Livingston Parish.
