Louisiana Highway 102 (LA 102) is a state highway located in
U.S. Highway 165 (U.S. 165) in Fenton to LA 26 north of Lake Arthur.[1] The route is bannered west–east from Fenton to a point just east of the first junction with LA 26 at Hathaway. From this point to its terminus north of Lake Arthur, LA 102 travels in a north–south direction and is bannered accordingly. A largely rural route following section line roads, LA 102 passes through the city of Jennings
in the southern portion of its route.
Route description
From the northwest, LA 102 begins at an intersection with
LA 395 (Liberty Cemetery Road) which heads south to Roanoke. LA 395 turns east and begins a short concurrency with LA 102 that lasts for two sections at which point LA 395 turns north at Raymond toward Elton. LA 102 continues east for another two sections and intersects LA 26 at a point known as Hathaway. LA 26 also runs to Elton on the north. After one more section, LA 102 turns to the south and parallels LA 26 to Jennings. Its bannering likewise changes from west–east to north–south.[2][3][1]
Reaching the northern border of Jennings, LA 102 crosses over, but does not connect with,
LA 1126. It continues south for four more sections then turns west onto Dugas Road and shortly ends at an intersection with LA 26 about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of Lake Arthur.[2][3][1]
History
