Route description [edit]

From the west, LA 100 begins at an intersection with LA 97 (Evangeline Highway) in an area known as Evangeline. It proceeds east along Old Evangeline Highway and crosses Bayou Des Cannes and Bayou Pointe Aux Loups. Now known as Shelly Road, LA 100 continues east and intersects LA 91 (Iota Highway) at a point north of Egan. Here LA 100 turns south, beginning a concurrency with LA 91. At the Li & M Canal, the two highways curve to the southwest onto Aspen Road. Reaching Egan, LA 91 and LA 100 turn east onto Egan Highway, running north of and parallel to Interstate 10 (I-10). The concurrency ends just north of I-10 Exit 76 at Estherwood Highway, where LA 91 turns south toward Estherwood and LA 1120 heads to the north. Continuing east and closely following I-10, LA 100 intersects LA 3070 (McCain Road) followed by LA 1121, the latter at a point known as Lawson. LA 100 then crosses Bayou Plaquemine Brule and briefly skirts the northern city limit of Crowley before ending at an intersection at LA 13 (Crowley-Eunice Highway) adjacent to I-10 Exit 80.[2][3][1]

LA 100 is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.[1]

History [edit]

In the original Louisiana Highway system, the modern LA 100 formed all of pre-1955 State Route 1045 and part of State Route 370.[4][5] LA 100 was created with the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, and its route has remained unchanged to the present day.[6][7][8]

Major intersections [edit]

The entire highway is in Acadia Parish.
