The Geaux Wider Program

The Louisiana DOTD Geaux Wider program is a multi-year construction initiative designed to increase capacity, improve safety and enhance mobility on Interstates 10 and 12 in East Baton Rouge and Livingston Parishes.

The following interstate segments will be widened to six lanes under the Geaux Wider program:

Interstate 10, from the I-10/12 split to Siegen Lane.
Interstate 10, from the Siegen Lane interchange to Highland Road.
Interstate 12, from the O'Neal Lane interchange to Pete's Highway.
Interstate 12 eastbound, from Pete's Highway to Juban Road.
Interstate 12, from Juban Road to the Walker/La. 447 interchange.

In November 2011, plans were announced to extend the I-12 six lane improvements from the Walker interchange east toward Satsuma.

The Geaux Wider program also includes the installation of 16 ramp meters along I-12 from Baton Rouge to Livingston Parish.Â The ramp meters are intended to improve travel times, facilitate smoother merging, and reduce vehicle crashes at interstate on-ramps.
