Louisiana Highway 131 (LA 131) is a state highway located in Concordia Parish, Louisiana. It runs in a southwest to northeast direction from LA 15 in St. Genevieve to U.S. Highway 84 (US 84) and U.S. Highway 425 (US 425) in Vidalia. The route parallels the west bank of the Mississippi River, which forms the border between Louisiana and Mississippi. It connects Vidalia, the parish seat, with LA 15 southwest of town. Vidalia lies directly opposite the river from Natchez, Mississippi, the two being connected via the Natchez–Vidalia Bridge on US 84-425. LA 131 is a small part of the ten-state Great River Road and is included in the system of state-designated Louisiana Scenic Byways.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Great River Road )〕 Originally a longer route that followed an overall north–south direction, LA 131 was truncated in favor of an extension of LA 15. Though it now runs in a more diagonal fashion and carries no directional banners, the route still performs a north–south travel function and is treated in the state highway system as such. ==Route description== From the south, LA 131 begins at an intersection with LA 15 in St. Genevieve. LA 15 parallels the Mississippi River north through points such as Deer Park and, upon reaching the junction with LA 131, turns to the northwest toward Ferriday. LA 131 proceeds straight ahead, curving eastward with the river through a rural area toward Vidalia, the parish seat of Concordia Parish. After , LA 131 crosses the town limit and intersects LA 3180 (J. Logan Sewell Drive), which connects with US 84 and US 425 on the west side of town. LA 131 enters Vidalia on Martin Luther King Avenue and curves to the northeast, passing through a largely residential area. After , the route ends at an intersection with US 84-425 (Carter Street), the main highway through Vidalia. The northern terminus of LA 131 is located from the foot of the Mississippi River Bridge, which crosses the state line into Natchez, Mississippi. US 84 and US 425 run concurrently between Natchez and Ferriday, to the northwest.〔〔〔 The route is classified by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD) as a rural major collector from the southern terminus to a point near LA 3180 and as an urban collector from there to the northern terminus. The average daily traffic volume in 2013 is reported as 3,400 for the majority of the route, with a slightly lower figure of 3,200 in Vidalia between Gillespie Street and the northern terminus.〔 The route has a posted speed limit within Vidalia of from LA 3180 to Gillespie Street, reduced to from there to the northern terminus.〔 LA 131 is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.〔 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 131」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
