What moves through Baton Rouge
Plant freight dominates, meaning pipe, valves, skids, catalyst, chemicals and equipment moving to and from refineries and chemical facilities along the river corridor. Turnarounds compress enormous material and equipment volume into fixed windows, and project construction brings vessels, reactors and modules that require heavy haul planning.
River commerce moves bulk commodities and oversized cargo, agriculture from the surrounding parishes ships through the port and river systems, and distribution serves the metro and the corridor's workforce.
The corridors that carry it
I-10 runs the Gulf coast lane east and west, I-12 crosses north of the lake toward the Mississippi line and I-110 serves the metro. The Mississippi is the other route, carrying barge freight and providing access for cargo too large for highway movement, which makes the market genuinely multimodal for heavy pieces.
