House Resolution No. by Representative Braud urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a study on the feasibility of closing one of the on-ramps to eastbound United States Route 90 Business, specifically between Exit 12A and Exit 13C in New Orleans, during peak traffic hours from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. This section of the highway, known as the Pontchartrain Expressway, experiences significant congestion due to its multiple closely-positioned on-ramps and high volume of vehicular traffic, particularly during commuter hours.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of evaluating traffic patterns to determine if the proposed closure could enhance traffic flow and improve public safety. The Department of Transportation and Development is tasked with submitting a written report of its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works by March 1, 2027. A copy of the resolution will also be sent to the secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development.
