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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
