If they were to build a loop why not just elevate it and put it in the middle of the interstate we already have with no exits? It makes no sense to take the long way around. And there seems to be less upkeep on elevated roadways.
The biggest cause of traffic slowdowns and congestion is lack of driver education.

A train is an excellent idea for those commuting from the outskirts to Baton Rouge, but it wouldn't do much for those wanting to take the freeway into the city due to the bottleneck of traffic at the Amite River and the Mississippi Bridge. These are two difference projects I suspect.
