Baton Rouge's Scenic Highway project starting after years on renovation listBATON ROUGE — An $8 million renovation project along Scenic Highway is set to begin construction, with the city-parish hoping the investment will bring long-term change to the area. "Residents in this area have been asking for tangible progress," Kenney said. The stretch of Scenic Highway has been on the renovation list since 2020. Lonterio Ruffin, who owns Kutt'n Korners barber shop at the corner of Scenic Highway and Swan Avenue, has watched the area for nearly two decades. "We have more barber shops than grocery stores, than stores, than gas stations," Ruffin said.
