Lafayette's I-49 Connector project faces skepticism amid rising costs, lengthy timeline, and concerns over funding for local needs.
Lafayette's I-49 Connector project aims to elevate Evangeline Thruway and integrate it into the interstate system, targeting neighborhood revitalization.
However, increasing cost estimates—rising from $900 million to $2 billion—and a lengthy timeline of 20-30 years have raised skepticism among residents.
Critics argue it diverts funds from urgent local needs, while supporters see potential for economic growth.
