Acadiana sits at the crossroads of I-10 and I-49, making our region a critical hub for commerce and mobility in Louisiana. Business leaders understand that the quality and reliability of our infrastructure network directly influence the state’s competitiveness. That’s why supporting strategic transportation improvements remains central to One Acadiana’s economic development mission — and why we continue to champion long-term investments that enhance connectivity and move our region forward.
I-49 Lafayette Connector
The I-49 Lafayette Connector is the region’s most significant transportation investment opportunity and a long-standing priority for One Acadiana. Completing the Connector would enhance regional mobility, improve safety, bolster hurricane evacuation, and unlock new economic potential for Acadiana and the state.
We continue to advocate for timely progress, necessary funding, and forward movement on this transformational project.

I-49 South
Completing the larger I-49 South corridor from Lafayette to New Orleans also remains an essential long-term infrastructure goal. The corridor plays a critical role in freight movement, energy access, and statewide connectivity. One Acadiana supports ongoing planning and investment to advance its full completion.
