Earhart Boulevard
The Earhart Expressway is an extension of Earhart Boulevard, a divided four- and six-lane thoroughfare that begins at Loyola Avenue near the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. It continues the route of Calliope Street alongside and underneath the Pontchartrain Expressway (U.S. 90 Business), splitting off at South Claiborne Avenue and following an abandoned railroad right-of-way to the beginning of the expressway, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from the Orleans/Jefferson Parish line.

Famous quotes containing the words earhart and/or boulevard:
“The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.”
—Amelia Earhart (1897–1937)
“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
