[edit] Route description
From the east, LA 16 begins in Sun at a junction with LA 21 and heads west northwest into Washington Parish. At an intersection with LA 60, LA 16 turns north-northwest towards Franklinton, where the highway merges with LA 10 and LA 25. All three highways split from each other outside of the city limits, and LA 16 turns westward. In Tangipahoa Parish, LA 16 intersects U.S. Highway 51 in Amite and Interstate 55 just west of the city. LA 43 shortly merges with LA 16 and then splits with LA 16 in Montpelier. From Montpelier, LA 16 shortly merges with LA 63 and then splits from the highway after approximately 9.5 miles. LA 16 then heads due south, running through Denham Springs and then turning southeastward after intersecting Interstate 12. LA 16 then merges with LA 42 in Port Vincent and then splits with the highway east of the city. LA 16 continues through French Settlement before ending at a junction with LA 22.
