Construction is now complete on the Downtown Greenway Louisiana Connector, connecting the Government Street Bike Lanes to the Downtown Greenway at T.J. Jemison Boulevard. We cordially invite you to the ribbon cutting of this important project on Tuesday, November 14th at 4 p.m. located at the intersection underneath Interstate 110 at Louisiana Avenue.
The concept for the Downtown Greenway began in Plan Baton Rouge II as a public, alternative transportation system that connects the surrounding inner city neighborhoods to the 'Central Green,' a system of greenspaces in the heart of Downtown Baton Rouge. Completed portions of the Downtown Greenway include sections at Expressway Park and Myrtle Street, T.J. Jemison ad East Boulevard, and North Boulevard, totaling approximately 1.75 miles. Bike lanes on Government Street were also previously completed, totaling approximately 4 miles. The projects, previously disconnected by Interstate 110, are now safely connected by the Louisiana Connector via Eddie Robinson Sr. Drive and Louisiana Avenue.
