Louisiana Highway 116 (LA 116) is a state highway located in Rapides Parish, Louisiana. It runs 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 before entering an area of scattered residential development known as Green Gables. east of Libuse Cutoff Road, LA 116 meets the west entrance of Esler Regional Airport, a small airfield primarily used by the Louisiana National Guard. Here, the highway makes a curve to the southeast and reaches the south entrance of the airport. LA 116 then curves to the south and travels for through an unpopulated and thickly forested area before ending at an intersection with LA 28. The eastern terminus is located east of the Pineville Expressway, where LA 28 begins a concurrency with US 167 into downtown Alexandria. To the northeast, LA 28 connects with US 84 to Jonesville and points near the Mississippi state line.〔〔〔 The route is classified by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD) as an urban minor arterial from the western terminus to Flagon Bayou near Green Gables and a rural major collector from there to the eastern terminus.〔 The average daily traffic volume in 2013 is reported as 8,300 from US 167 to a point just west of Esler Regional Airport, decreasing to 3,100 for the remainder of the route.〔〔 LA 116 has a posted speed limit of within the Pineville city limits and in rural Rapides Parish.〔 It is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire route.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louisiana Highway 116」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
