Green Light Plan
Building Better Roads for East Baton Rouge Parish
STUMBERG EXTENSION PHASE 1
Design Engineer: HNTB Corporation
Contractor: J. B. James Construction, LLC
Construction Cost: $6.3M
Project Length: 5,700 ft
GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY
STUMBERG EXTENSION PHASE 1
The project, divided id d into two phases, will provide a connection between Pecue Lane and Airline
Highway and then to Jefferson Highway. The Stumberg Lane Extension Phase 1 project will stretch
from the 90-degree turn on the existing Pecue Lane to a point approximately 1,300 feet north of
Airline Highway. Improvements within the Phase 1 project include drainage improvements, a
two-lane roundabout at the intersections of the new Stumberg Lane Extension and Woman’s
Hospital access drive, new traffic signalization at the aligned intersection of Pecue Lane at Airline
Highway, and sewer upgrades and installations.
When complete, the project will provide significantly enhanced access to motorists along Airline
Highway and Pecue Lane, two major areas of congestion. Six-foot sidewalks will be included on
both sides of the four-lane roadway to allow for safe pedestrian access. Critical access points will be
established to connect the new Woman’s Hospital with motorists and citizens requiring urgent care
access. When combined with the Stumberg Lane Extension Phase 2 project, a new corridor will be
established that links the existing Stumberg Lane from the Jefferson Highway intersection to Pecue
Lane.
QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PROJECT RENDERING
DID YOU KNOW:
The first documented roundabout was built in 1905 on the southwest corner of Central Park in
New York City and named Columbus Circle (after Christopher Columbus).
The “modern roundabout” is a circular intersection with specific design and traffic control
features that distinguish it from other types of circular intersections.
All vehicles circulate counterclockwise around a central island and circulating vehicles have
the right-of-way.

GREEN LIGHT PLAN
“As the year 2011 comes to a close, we are now able to look back at some of the
extraordinary accomplishments of the Green Light Plan this past year. Twenty-two
major road construction projects are now complete in just over four years since the first
project broke ground, another five remain under construction across East Baton Rouge
Parish, and we continue to make substantial progress towards a completed and
drivable Central Thruway. While we don’t know all that lies ahead for us in 2012, one
thing remains certain – the Green Light Plan will continue to move forward, and our
team will remain hard at work as we open up roadways and bring new projects to
construction”
- Mayor-President Melvin “Kip” Holden
