## Resource

Baton Rouge’s long-awaited Perkins Road Overpass renovation is finally breaking ground July 13th after years of delays — a $2.5 million upgrade designed to boost safety, connect neighborhoods, and add trails, lighting, and parking. Originally slated for late 2025, setbacks from railroad crossings, utility work, and shifting administrations pushed the start back. Local businesses are stressed, worried about parking disruptions and potential revenue hits during football season, especially if construction overlaps with game days. While completion before kickoff seems unlikely, officials hope the end result will make the wait worthwhile. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
