It's something that we've been talking about in Lafayette for decades, but here's your chance to see it up close and personal.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) rolled out a really cool website that brings you right into the board room where discussions are taking place around design proposals for the I-49 connector project in Lafayette.

According to our media partner at KATC, the virtual reality website is a result of DOTD moving forward with the "Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) process" for the project.
The website features a VR scale model of the 5.5-mile I-49 Connector. Visitors to the site will have an overview of the Connector and the ability to zoom in on several proposed design features, including bridges, and the retaining and abutment walls. The immersive experience allows viewers to see how structural components like walls, barriers and piers could look with different proposed designs.
