House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Braud, urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to study the feasibility of closing one of the on-ramps to eastbound United States Route 90 Business, specifically between Exit 12A (Camp Street) and Exit 13C (Interstate 10 toward Slidell), during peak traffic hours from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. This segment of the highway is known for significant congestion, particularly during these hours, and the resolution aims to evaluate whether the closure of one of the multiple on-ramps could improve traffic flow and enhance public safety.

The resolution mandates that the Department of Transportation and Development conduct this evaluation and submit a written report detailing its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works by March 1, 2027. The study is intended to identify which on-ramp, if any, would be most suitable for closure to alleviate traffic issues in this busy corridor connecting downtown New Orleans to the West Bank.
