Headed to Destin in a week.  Have taken both I-20 and I-10, found I-10 down in the LA stretches past 49 to be…..rough at best.

So, my point being, is I-10 Alexandria - Mobile any better since they started working on it  a few years ago?   Been at least 3 yrs since Ive been on that stretch, deciding which way will be better.  

Either way, I’ll be avoiding Jackson, caus fuck Jackson.  That town is a shithole of epic proportions.

I can only really speak to the B.R. to MS stretch through New Orleans and the surrounding area, but as of yesterday it was looking pretty good.  Mind you, there's a lot of rush hour traffic, but DOTD starts ripping up 10 in B.R. it's pretty clear.  Monday I can update on Mobile to New Orleans, as I will be traversing that on my way back from GA, so should have an idea of how it looks on the other side of the road.


ETA:  Went N.O. to B.R. to pick up a cat to transport to Huntsville before heading to GA---just wanted to clarify that I am not insane for purposes of evaluating my reported observations.  I mean, I certainly wouldn't take anyone seriously who went through B.R. from N.O. on the way to GA.

10E from 65 in Mobile looked fine all the way to around the 4 mile marker in Hancock County MS, where things turned into a parking lot for 10W for no reason I could detect.  Once it was and I was on the Pearl River bridge heading into LA it looked as if the same thing had happened and was clearing up on 10E at around that point in MS, but I not been able to find an explanation.  Otherwise looked good from 65 in Mobile to New Orleans.

Thanks for the heads up.

BR traffic can get pretty awful. The downtown bridge handles about 130k vehicles a day and it shows. Tons of 18-wheeler traffic.
