Route description

I-20 enters Louisiana about 20 miles (32 km) east of Marshall, Texas, near Waskom. I-20 passes through Greenwood to the north of town, where US 80/US 79 serve as the main east–west highway. I-20 enters Shreveport about 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Greenwood. I-20 intersects I-220 (the north Shreveport bypass) and Louisiana Highway 3132 (LA 3132, the south Shreveport bypass) on the westside of the city. On the way to Downtown Shreveport, I-20 intersects US 171 and serves as the current northern terminus of I-49.

As I-20 leaves Shreveport, it passes through

Interstate 220 (I-220) in Louisiana is an east–west bypass route around Shreveport, in the northwestern corner of the state. It runs 17.62 miles (28.36 km) from I-20 and Louisiana Highway 3132 (LA 3132) in Shreveport to a second interchange with I-20 in Bossier City.[5] The highway serve as a northern bypass of the downtown area for through traffic traveling on I-20, and, with LA 3132, the highway helps to carry through traffic between the two currently disconnected portions of I-49, the area's main north–south route.

Interstate 420 (I-420) was to be a

bypass of Monroe, Louisiana. Initially proposed in the late 1950s, this route was to have been only two lanes wide at a cost $29 million with a projected 2,500 to 3,000 ADT in 1964.[4] The project was effectively canceled on October 12, 1964, when then Louisiana Representative Hale Boggs agreed to no longer seek funding for the route. This was done in favor of focusing all efforts at funding and getting built New Orleans' Vieux Carré Riverfront Expressway.[4]
