Route description

LA 24 begins at a junction with LA 1 in Larose. From there, LA 24 runs westward to Bourg, commonly known as Bourg-Larose Highway. In Bourg, it turns northward at the LA 57 intersection toward Houma (where it acts as a major road in the city center) and then turns northwestward and runs through Thibodaux. Although the road itself goes to Thibodaux, the LA 24 designation ends at the point where LA 24 runs into LA 20.
