Some draconian solutions in the past have become busy roads in the city. I remember when they 7 laned Siegen Lane. Jefferson used to be 2 lanes. It would have been easier to widen the parallel road, Florida to more lanes, but they widen Jefferson instead. There are lots of areas around town that they widened the feeder streets instead of the arterials, much to the dismay of the residents, while decades later people can't even think of what the road would be like now if they didnt widen it when they did.
Could we widen the interstate like you want instead of a loop? Sure. Could we just build two lanes in the median and have them flow one way and flip-flop them in the afternoon? Sure. Could we add some real infrastructure to the 5 parish area and do some smart planning to get ahead of the urban sprawl and relieve some of the traffic? We will.
Your ideas are good, vikingsfan68, but you only address the current problem and how to fix it now. Now what do we do in 10 years when your fix no longer works when the traffic increases?
