It runs 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 , 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 , at which point the surroundings begin to transition to dry farmland. later, LA 69 passes through the rural community of Samstown and intersects LA 404. Shortly afterward, LA 69 enters the town of White Castle as more residences begin to line the highway. Traveling along Bowie Street, LA 69 crosses the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) tracks at grade and passes through the town's historic downtown area. LA 69 then has a junction with LA 1, a divided four-lane highway that connects with Donaldsonville to the southeast and Plaquemine to the northwest. LA 69 crosses LA 1 and turns west onto 4th Street, running concurrent with LA 405.〔〔〔 The two routes exit White Castle three blocks later and travel alongside the west bank levee of the Mississippi River for to the small community of Bayou Goula. Here, LA 405 continues straight ahead along the River Road while LA 69 turns west onto Augusta Road, an old gravel plantation road. The route ends about later at a second junction with LA 1.〔〔〔 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 69」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
