Decision on I-49 Suit Expected by end of Summer

The Advertiser reports that Judge Tucker Melancon is expected to hand down a decision by the end of summer that will impact a proposed Interstate 49 extension that is slated to run through Lafayette. "The lawsuit alleges that the highway administration violated federal law by planning the roadway too close to a historic district and park, and that alternative routes were not considered." Meanwhile, the state and federal government are both moving forward with the project.
