Route Description
LA 2 begins at the Louisiana/Texas state line in northern Caddo Parish. It merges shortly with LA 1 and runs due north. The highways split in Vivian, where LA 2 continues eastward. In Sarepta, Louisiana Highway 2 Spur connects LA 2 with the L&A Railroad Station. LA 2 still continues nearly due east into Claiborne Parish. In Shongaloo, LA 2 Alternate splits from LA 2 and runs north of and parallel to the original highway. LA 2 also merges with U.S. Highway 165 in northern Ouachita Parish, but the highways split in Bastrop. From there, LA 2 runs almost due east until it ends at an intersection with U.S. Highway 65 just north of Lake Providence. With the exception of the merges with LA 1, US 165, and US 167/US 63, and a 3½ mile stretch in Plain Dealing, LA 2 is a two lane, undivided highway.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
