Route Description
I-12 begins just east of downtown Baton Rouge at an interchange with I-10, with I-10 heading toward New Orleans and I-12 acting as a de facto bypass of the New Orleans area. I-12 continues east passing through the suburbs of Baton Rouge, before transitioning into a rural interstate for the rest of its length. It makes an interchange with I-55 near Hammond. East of Hammond, the route passes near the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, and crosses scenic streams like the Tangipahoa River south of Robert, Sims Creek southeast of Goodbee, and the Tchefuncte River north of Madisonville. I-12 ends at I-10 and the southern terminus of I-59 near Slidell.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
