The Lafayette Regional Xpressway (LRX) is a planned controlled-access toll road in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. The LRX has also been termed the Lafayette Loop. It will provide an alternative highway for north-south traffic bypassing the City of Lafayette's urban core. The expressway is being planned by the Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway Commission. The LRX will connect I-49 north of Lafayette near the city of Carencro, Louisiana, I-10 west of Lafayette near the cities of Scott, Louisiana and Duson, Louisiana, and U.S. 90 south of the city of Lafayette near the city of Youngsville, Louisiana. The proposed roadway will initially be four lanes, but will be designed to accommodate future expansion to six lanes. The final LRX length will be between 27 and 36 miles (43 and 58 km) in length,
