TRANSPORTATION/DEV DEPT: Urges and requests the Department of Transportation and Development to address the problem relative to the Interstate 20 construction zone and the impact on local, state and national businesses located in Bossier City.

This Senate Resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to find a solution for large trucks currently banned from a specific stretch of Interstate 20 in Bossier City. The bill argues that this ban has negatively impacted local, state, and national businesses located between Hamilton Road and Industrial Drive by cutting off their access to a major traffic artery. While the resolution does not change any laws itself, it formally urges state officials to consider alternatives to the current prohibition and the associated traffic tickets issued to commercial drivers. The request is framed as a way to support economic activity in the area during ongoing construction work.
