    Raised interstate that runs near the railroad track directly west of Evangeline Thruway ending at either Pinhook or Kaliste. I think Kaliste.

    This is crucial to Lafayette parish. No doubt many people in Lafayette have become like frogs placed in a big pot of water as the heat has been rising for years. Everyone I know who visits Lafayette can’t believe the traffic that moves like Steens Blue Ribbon pours on a frosty morning.

    Prestressed concrete beams have come a long way. Let's hope they don't screw up their deflection calculations when they place the concrete deck. Some of the overpasses headed to Morgan City are like washboards
    Best I could tell was the first pile. They were driving at an excavated area, a few feet below grade. Looked over at it when the light changed.

    Right I saw that too. But they had groups of battered piles closer to Broussard from the intersection. So I suspect minimal embankment for the overpass.

    Edit: That was a bridge, not just an overpass.

    There is one on the other side of Morgan City that is like a carnival ride!

    Makes the drive interesting. Very nice harmonics.

    The only road section in America where you can get "seasick".

    Probably like the Jefferson Island overpasses, low angle of approach.

    I suspect it will be like this. US 90 at HWY 88 ....4.71 miles to the south of the Albertsons project

    Are we taking bets on when the I-49 connector project through Lafayette begins?
