[edit] Route description
LA 2 begins at the Louisiana/Texas state line in northern Caddo Parish. It merges shortly with LA 1 and runs due north. The highways split in Vivian, where LA 2 continues eastward. In Sarepta, Louisiana Highway 2 Spur connects LA 2 with the L&A Railroad Station. LA 2 still continues nearly due east into Claiborne Parish. In Shongaloo, LA 2 Alternate splits from LA 2 and runs north of and parallel to the original highway. LA 2 also merges with U.S. Highway 165 in northern Ouachita Parish, but the highways split in Bastrop. From there, LA 2 runs almost due east until it ends at an intersection with U.S. Highway 65 just north of Lake Providence. With the exception of the merges with LA 1 and U.S. 165 and a 3½ mile stretch in Plan Dealing, LA 2 is a two lane, undivided highway.
