LA 500 initially travels due east from US 167 along the Grant–Winn parish line. It then curves southeast through the Kisatchie National Forest and proceeds into the village of Georgetown. Here, the highway crosses the four-lane US 165 and zigzags north and east through the center of town. Heading southeast from Georgetown, LA 500 crosses the Little River in LaSalle Parish. The route continues through the tiny rural communities of Zenoria, Little Creek, and Searcy until reaching its eastern terminus at a T-intersection with US 84 west of Trout, an unincorporated community outside Jena. LA 500 is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire route.[2]
The route heads due east from US 165 then turns northward after crossing the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks. Now running parallel to US 165, LA 502 enters Georgetown and intersects LA 500. The north–south section of the route represents the original alignment of US 165 in the area. It is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.[4][5][6]
Louisiana Highway 505 (LA 505) runs 25.24 miles (40.62 km) in a north–south direction from US 167 at Tannehill, Winn Parish to LA 4 in Weston, Jackson Parish.[9]
The route is roughly L-shaped, initially heading northwest from US 167.[6][9][10] It then curves to the northeast, passing between the towns of Jonesboro and Dodson as it crosses US 167 at Wyatt. LA 505 continues northeast to an intersection with LA 4 in Weston. It is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.[9][11][12]

The route heads north on River Road from LA 18 through the community of Bridge City, where it begins to parallel the west bank levee of the Mississippi River. After crossing underneath the Huey P. Long Bridge on US 90, LA 541 follows a sharp bend in the river known as Nine Mile Point. Now heading south, the highway enters the city of Westwego and has a brief concurrency with LA 18. Its local name briefly changes to Labauve Drive within the city limits. Continuing eastward along the river, LA 541 crosses into Marrero and intersects LA 560-2 (Barataria Boulevard), a short connector to LA 18 and LA 45. After crossing from Marrero into another unincorporated community known as Harvey, LA 541 curves south onto Destrehan Avenue alongside the Harvey Canal, a link in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The route ends shortly afterward at LA 18 (4th Street) adjacent to a bascule bridge spanning the canal on that highway. LA 541 is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.[49][50]
