Representative McMakin requests study for third turning lane on I-10 East
House Transportation Committee members unanimously approved two crucial resolutions during their meeting on June 2, 2025, aimed at improving traffic flow in Louisiana.

The first resolution, HCR 66, was moved by Representative Breaux and received no objections, allowing it to be reported favorably. While the specifics of HCR 66 were not detailed in the transcript, its swift approval indicates strong support among committee members.

The spotlight then shifted to HCR 68, introduced by Representative McMakin. This resolution urges the Department of Transportation and Development to study the addition of a third turning lane on the off-ramp of Interstate 10 East at Seaton Lane. McMakin highlighted the pressing need for this improvement, citing significant traffic congestion in the area. He expressed enthusiasm for the project, referencing a previous successful initiative on Washington Street and looking forward to future developments.

With no objections raised, HCR 68 was also reported favorably, signaling a commitment to addressing traffic issues in District 68. The meeting concluded with Representative Boyer moving to adjourn, wrapping up a session focused on enhancing transportation infrastructure in Louisiana.
