What a pleasant calming voice Totally necessary when driving with these Baton Rouge drivers.

[@paperwaves6111]

This video is amazing. I’ll be attending LSU in the fall and will be driving from Chalmette to Baton Rouge.

[@JohnH-os6id]

I have watched about 10 of your videos in the past few days, and you did an OUTSTANDING job with these! Heading there in less than 2 weeks, and you have been quite helpful, to say the least! Best wishes to you!

[@504RoadTrips]

Thank you for watching! Enjoy your stay!

[@donavanjohnson27]

I have been to baton rouge

[@lawrenceraibon4238]

I am originally from Tyler, Texas I stayed in Baton Rouge for 2 months and I know this route.

[@karenjackson2748]

I'm from NYC I stayed in baton rouge and New Orleans I'll never forget it

[@batonrougehistoryclass5194]

How was it compared to New York. I’m from Baton Rouge.

[@lahkooky504westside3]

@@batonrougehistoryclass5194 not that different probably considering all 3 are ghetto af 😂

[@Guns_and_Saints]

Oh that's easy, just follow the Baton Rouge signs.

[@MasonColemanWright1234]

I been on I 10 between Baton Rouge and New Orleans

[@Gvieto]

I noticed that the Bonnabel Blvd exit has changed since I moved to Lake Charles in 2009.

[@504RoadTrips]

George B Vieto the whole interstate between the Parish line and Clearview has been redone and widened in the past decade, but I thought that project went back before 2009. But I can’t come up with any reference point for when it was under construction. I avoided that area like the plague while all that was going on.

[@Gvieto]

I do not blame you since I used to live in Bucktown from 1978-2009 and the Bonnabel Blvd and North Causeway area was my worst nightmare.

[@504RoadTrips]

George B Vieto one thing I can say now is that the delays through all of Metairie when heading west don’t start until you get close to Kenner now. And it’s mostly from spillway traffic these days. They really opened things up by improving the Causeway interchange.

[@audubon5425]

8:00 you'd have to launch your boat to continue from here this weekend

[@504RoadTrips]

See my US-51 video. Most of that is under water right now also.

[@504RoadTrips]

+audubon5425 Yeah, I-10 is still closed at Prairieville and I-12 is closed at some point east of Baton Rouge. US-61 is the only way in, and I hear it's pretty treacherous right now. AT&T has an outage across the entire Baton Rouge area so a significant portion of the population has no cellular service.

[@lahkooky504westside3]

As a Westbank native can't we take the way pass boutte/houma to get there? Ya know, when you driving pass Avondale going straight to boutte

[@504RoadTrips]

To get to Baton Rouge? That way is never faster unless you’re starting out west of Marrero. The Hale Boggs bridge and I-310 between Boutte and I-10 is going backwards at an angle, so it adds distance. If you’re east of the Harvey canal, it’s a lot faster to go through the city. All those red lights in western Marrero and Westwego are a big slowdown.

[@lahkooky504westside3]

Uhhhh I stay in waggaman lol

[@504RoadTrips]

@@lahkooky504westside3 then the Hale Boggs is faster for you, since you’re so far west to start out. We’re at the far opposite end of the Westbank, so we almost always go through the city.

[@lahkooky504westside3]

Yeah my cousin said he was headed to br while we were on da phone. Then he mentioned Domino's. I said "Wait you in boutte?" He said yeah. He explained how you can get to BR that way. My mind was blown. You can even get to Lafayette from there I was mind blown 🤯

[@504RoadTrips]

@@lahkooky504westside3 We have video of Hwy 90 all the way to Lafayette. Actually, all the way to San Antonio.

[@meganm3270]

My dad makes this drive twice a day well from Ascension to St.bernard

[@StukInBuf]

I'm paused at 0:36... is that still the Fountain Bay Club Hotel and Suites, with the tennis courts in the back yard?

[@504RoadTrips]

SuperPat88 yes...t’s been converted to climate controlled storage units for at least 20-25 years. I believe it’s called Fontainebleau Self Storage now.

[@StukInBuf]

@504RoadTrips: All I can say is... *WOW!*

[@504RoadTrips]

But since you mentioned it...was Fountain Bay an autocorrect thing, or was it once called that? I have long thought I remembered the hotel having the word Bay in it, but in searching, all I can find is Fountainbleau [sic] mentioned back to when it was first built.

[@LuckyBelafonte]

How long did the drive take?

[@504RoadTrips]

New Orleans t Baton Rouge is just over an hour. This was early morning. A little later and traffic would have been worse and it could have increased to two hours.

[@LuckyBelafonte]

@@504RoadTrips moving to baton rouge soon and family is in nola. Thanks for the info and video

TOM PIPPS . FOAM - BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA . HI HELLO

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Wayyyyyy too fast speed of vid. Making my head spin. See ya...

[@truthtellerbelievethat1813]

First of all Louisiana is a majority Catholic state in the only reason why that we do not have counties it's because we dislike the county system because of the Catholic people who are also known as parishioners that's why we have parishes get your facts straight before you talk about my home state

[@504RoadTrips]

As a lifelong Louisianian, and a Catholic, who wrote the commentary in this video, that's EXACTLY what was said. Unfortunately, due to copyright issues with the music in the video, the audio up to about halfway through the video had to be overwritten, so some of the information may have been lost.
