This segment is approximately 9 miles long
extending from Wax Lake Outlet to the Bridge across the Lower
Atchafalaya River in Berwick. At present, US 90 is a 4 lane divided
highway with no frontage roads. I-49 is planned to be aligned in the
existing US 90 right-of-way wherever possible. Other alignments are
under consideration between Red Cypress Road and Berwick.
This segment has been divided into three
Subsegments designated Subsegments X, Y, and Z for the purposes of
testing alternate alignments and interchange configurations within
each. Drawings of these Subsegments were presented and discussed at
the Second Public Meeting on February 19, 2001. The public can view
them at the DOTD District 3 office in Lafayette, 428 Hugh Wallis
Road and Patterson Civic Center, 116 Cotten Road. During the period
between the Second and Third Public Meetings, comments are being
received and the alternates are being refined.
