The Lafayette City-Parish Council voted Tuesday night to approve an ordinance endorsing the I-49 Lafayette Connector.
Both city and parish councils voted in favor of expediting the project.
According to Mayor Blanco Boulet, the project is supported by legislators who, in a joint resolution, are urging the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to speed up the progress.
The I-49 Lafayette Connector is a future 5.5-mile section of highway that will extend I-49 from I-10 to the Lafayette Regional Airport. The connector is expected to be partially elevated.
