Route Description
The western terminus is at I-10 at the 17th Street Canal, which forms the boundary between Orleans Parish and Jefferson Parish. The eastern terminus is at I-10 near Franklin Avenue in the Gentilly neighborhood of the city, just west of where I-10 crosses the Industrial Canal, which links the Mississippi River with Lake Pontchartrain.
While I-10 continues into the Central Business District of New Orleans, I-610 provides a shorter route and a bypass for motorists by cutting east and west through City Park.
