    At $60 million, the largest roadway project ever undertaken by East Baton Rouge Parish, The Central Thruway, will likely open in the first quarter of 2013.  Michael Songy of CSRS Engineering explained that the main line paving is nearing completion and that the plan is to construct temporary turn lanes at Greenwell Springs Road so that the Thruway may be opened in the spring from there to Florida Blvd.  The completion of the section from Greenwell Springs to Sullivan Road is expected to take an additional six months.
