I wonder why mapquest didn't want to use I 10? I've made that drive quite a few times and always used the interstates..

That trip thru Baton Rouge and New Orleans, or Lafayette with a 30 ft. boat will suck.
But you have to do one or the other.
I run down there once a month. I would pass thru either Laff or BR after the rush hours, in the late evening.
Don't try to stop between Laplace and Belle Chase. It will be a hassle.

MapQuest did come up using I-10. I rerouted the drive to show the best route. The only real traffic you run into this way is at the West Bank.

Yeah, i guess it depends on what time you are going. Baton Rouge and NO can be terrible if you pick the wrong times. Good idea, honestly I never even knew there was a road down there from Lafayette...

It's a limited access hwy most of the way. Also, most of the speed limit is 70 mph.

Not just Downtown. All of BR traffic sucks. Been under construction since 1922.

I-49 down to hwy 90. 90% of the route is 60mph and above. Your only slowdowns will be Lafayette, maybe Brousard, Patterson going into Morgan City has a few lights then no more traffic lights till you hit Bayou Gauche and Boutte. I'd go 90
