Louisiana Highway 69

Louisiana Highway 69 (LA 69) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana. It runs 15.36 miles (24.72 km) in a general north–south direction from LA 70 in Grand Bayou to LA 1 northwest of White Castle.

The route traverses the small town of White Castle, located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Iberville Parish. It connects the town and surrounding farmland with the narrow ribbon of communities within the vast Atchafalaya Swamp situated along LA 70 and LA 75 on the Belle and Lower Grand rivers. LA 69 was designated in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering from portions of several former state routes.

Route description

From the south, LA 69 begins at a junction with LA 70 in an area of northern Assumption Parish known as Grand Bayou. The route heads north alongside the waterway of the same name through thickly wooded swampland. After 2.8 miles (4.5 km), LA 69 crosses into Iberville Parish and intersects LA 996, which leads to the community of Bruly St. Martin. The highway continues through the swamp for another 2.8 miles (4.5 km), at which point the surroundings begin to transition to dry farmland. 3.0 miles (4.8 km) later, LA 69 passes through the rural community of Samstown and intersects LA 404.

Louisiana Highway 116

Louisiana Highway 116 (LA 116) is a state highway located in Rapides Parish, Louisiana. It runs 8.39 miles (13.50 km) in an east–west direction from U.S. Highway 165 (US 165) in Pineville to LA 28 at a point east of Pineville.

The route connects the city of Pineville, as well as the rural area in the northeast corner of the parish, with Esler Regional Airport. Pineville is located opposite the Red River from Alexandria, central Louisiana's largest city. Formerly the area's main airport, Esler is now primarily used as a training ground by the Louisiana National Guard.

Route description

From the west, LA 116 begins at an intersection with US 165 (Monroe Highway) just within the northern city limit of Pineville. US 165 connects to Monroe on the north and heads through Pineville to Alexandria on the south. LA 116 proceeds northeast on Esler Field Road and passes by Camp Beauregard, a U.S. Army and Louisiana National Guard training area. East of Camp Beauregard, LA 116 travels through a forested rural area for about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) before entering an area of scattered residential development known as Green Gables.

List of state highways in Louisiana (1050–1099)

The following is a list of state highways in the U.S. state of Louisiana designated in the 1050-1099 range.

Louisiana Highway 1050

Louisiana Highway 1050 (LA 1050) runs 4.97 miles (8.00 km) in a north–south direction from LA 38 west of Kentwood to LA 440 in Tangipahoa. The route's mileposts increase from the northern end contrary to common practice.

LA 1050 heads southeast from LA 38 and intersects LA 1049. After curving due east, LA 1050 crosses over without connecting to I-55. At a T-intersection with LA 1051, the highway turns south and enters the village of Tangipahoa. It continues as Dr. Martin Luther King Drive until reaching its terminus at LA 440 (Center Street). LA 1050 is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.

In the pre-1955 state highway system, the majority of LA 1050 was designated as State Route 1056. However, the portion south of LA 1051 was part of pre-1955 Route 33-D and was the original alignment of both Route 33 and US 51 during the 1920s. LA 1050 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, and its route has remained the same to the present day.

Louisiana Highway 28

Louisiana Highway 28 (LA 28) is a state highway in Louisiana. It spans 86.9 miles (139.9 km) and runs from west to east. The highway has its beginning in Leesville at the roundabout intersection of U.S. Route 171 and LA 8 and it ends at US 84 between Jena and Jonesville. Much of LA 28 is a four-lane divided highway with a 65 miles per hour (105 km/h) speed limit. East of Pineville, it is a two lane undivided road to the eastern end at US 84.

Route description

From the west, LA 28 begins at an intersection with US 171, at the north city limits of Leesville in Vernon Parish, running concurrent with LA 8. LA 8 turns northeast about five miles (8.0 km) east of Leesville and is called the Slagle Road. The highway intersects with LA 121 then LA 465 and a few miles after this enters Rapides Parish then Gardner before entering Alexandria. Between Leesville and Alexandria LA 28 is known as the Alexandria Highway. In Alexandria LA 28 is called Coliseum Boulevard. LA 28 intersects with MacArthur Drive where signs direct traffic to merge with north MacArthur Drive and intersect and runs concurrent with Interstate 49. After merging onto MacArthur Drive BR LA 28 exits and follows through downtown Alexandria city streets. This was the original route until December 2007. LA 28 exits and merges with US 167 east at the Casson Street exit in Pineville and becomes a part of the Pineville Expressway, which proceeds west along the Fulton Street Bridge, named for Alexander Fulton, the founder of Alexandria. This bridge links LA 28 over the Red River between Pineville and Alexandria. LA 28 exits at Holloway Prairie Road and continues east. Shortly after intersecting with LA 115, LA 28 enters La Salle Parish. East of Walters, LA 28 enters Catahoula Parish. LA 28 terminates at US 84 between Walters and Archie.

Ontario Highway 69

King's Highway 69, commonly referred to as Highway 69, is a major north–south highway in the central portion of the Canadian province of Ontario, linking Highway 400 north of Parry Sound with the city of Greater Sudbury at Highway 17.

From its northerly terminus at Sudbury, the highway follows a wide urban arterial route for several kilometres before widening into a full freeway south of Crown Ridge. As of September 2015, this freeway segment extends southerly for 37 km to a spot approximately halfway between Highway 637 and Highway 64; construction is near completion on another 12 km to a point 2 km north of Highway 607, which is slated to open to traffic in 2016. From there, the route narrows to a two-lane highway to its southerly terminus, located three kilometres north of Highway 559 at Carling. At this terminus, the roadway widens to four lanes and changes its designation to Highway 400. South of this point, various former alignments of Highway 69 remain in use as parts of Highway 400 or as county or local roads. The highway forms part of the Central Ontario route of the Trans-Canada Highway, which continues south along Highway 400.
