LSU Traffic Relief Finally Begins | Baton Rouge News
Description
They finally broke ground on the big Nicholson Drive expansion near LSU — a $28 million project to widen the road from two to four lanes between Gourrier and Brightside, plus new J-turns and bike/walk paths. Designed to tackle chronic congestion caused by the university’s massive footprint, the upgrade aims to boost capacity and safety for drivers, students, and workers. Daily commuters are hopeful it’ll finally ease their commute chaos, though construction will likely cause short-term delays. The project is expected to wrap up by 2028 — a major investment to fix a long-standing traffic nightmare.
