Louisiana Highway 3046 Spur (LA 3046 Spur) was a state highway in Louisiana that served Jefferson Parish. It spanned 0.28 miles (0.45 km) in a west to east direction along Lausat Street.
The western terminus of LA 3046 Spur was at LA 3046 (Causeway Boulevard) between LA 3139 (Earhart Expressway) and U.S. 61 (Airline Drive). There was no connection between the spur route and its parent as the two highways did not meet at grade: LA 3046 (Causeway Boulevard) is elevated via a long overpass, and LA 3046 Spur existed at ground level on Lausat Street. LA 3046 Spur headed east to a terminus at LA 3262 (Labarre Road). The route was deleted in 2010.
LA 3046 Spur was an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.
The entire highway was in Metairie, Jefferson Parish.

Famous quotes containing the words louisiana, highway and/or spur:
“I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing,
All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches,
Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark
green,
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself,
But I wonder’d how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone
there without its friend near, for I knew I could not,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
