The construction of an Interstate 10 interchange at Pecue Lane in Baton Rouge is on schedule to open in the spring of 2026, according to the state Department of Transportation and Development.

The project started in 2017 with the goal of widening Pecue Lane from two to four lanes from Perkins Road to Airline Highway and improving access to Woman’s Hospital by connecting the road to I-10.

When completed, Pecue Lane will have two lanes in each direction, north and south; intersections with I-10 eastbound and westbound, and a new bridge over Ward Creek.

“Currently, crews are working on installing traffic signals,” a DOTD spokesperson said in November.

As part of the project, Rieger Road was extended to meet with Pecue Lane, a new intersection that opened recently.
