The Baton Rouge Loop, proposed by Capital Area Expressway Authority, will stretch through Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston and West Baton Rouge parishes.

The 90-mile project would be a four-lane structure with the ability to add two additional lanes in the future. The loop is planned to be a toll road to manage costs.

Engineers answered questions and displayed plans for the loop at open houses in each parish, which began Jan. 13. They will continue through Jan. 25.

Baton Rouge Loop spokesperson Rannah Gray estimates it could take three to five years for initial construction to begin.

Workshops will also take place in February for land use planning. The creation of a major toll road will most likely attract land development around it.
