LA 2 was also one of the first routes to feature a four-lane stretch, and still exists as either the current Louisiana Highway 182 or US 90. LA 2 began at a bridge crossing the Sabine River at Orange, Texas, following a now-abandoned alignment towards what is now Interstate 10. It then was joined with US 90 through Vinton and Sulphur. LA 2 then crossed via the US 90 high rise bridge over the Calcasieu River before running through downtown Lake Charles. LA 2 then met US 165/LA 24 in Iowa before meeting the towns of Jennings (LA 25), Crowley (LA 26), and Rayne (LA 40) before entering Lafayette, where it met US 167, which swapped state route designations with LA 5 and LA 43 before turning south. South of Lafayette, LA 2 crossed LA 25 and LA 56 before meeting LA 59 in Baldwin and LA 60 in Centerville. LA 2 passed over the Atchafalaya River via the Long-Allen Bridge and met LA 28 in Gibson, following Black Bayou until it met LA 69 and LA 79 in Houma. LA 2 also met LA 29 and LA 78 in Raceland before meeting LA 30 at the foot of the Huey Long Bridge in New Orleans, with LA 2 following the curvature of the river while US 90 uses the bridge. LA 2 then crossed at the Jackson Avenue Ferry, using surface streets to mingle with LA 1 before turning north toward Slidell, using US 11's alignment to enter Mississippi. As the road was bypassed along the way, Louisiana skipped numbering the route as LA 2-D and 2-E, and instead used the designation of LA 1092. 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 State Route 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
