Louisiana Highway 70 (LA 70) is a state highway in Louisiana that serves St. Mary, St. Martin, Assumption, and Ascension Parishes. It is primarily a two-lane highway that spans 50.89 miles.
[edit] Route description
LA 70 begins at an exit from U.S. Highway 90 in Morgan City. LA 70 then heads north into Assumption Parish, where it runs through Pierre Part. In Paincourtville, LA 70 intersects Louisiana Highway 1 via Louisiana Highway 70 Spur, a 1.6 mile connector road. LA 70 then continues northeastward through rural Ascension Parish as a two-lane, undivided road. LA 70 widens to a four lane, undivided road at an intersection with Louisiana Highway 3089. LA 70 then crosses the Mississippi River via the Sunshine Bridge. LA 70 then narrows back to a two lane undivided road after intersecting Louisiana Highway 44 and continues northeastward until it ends at an intersection with Louisiana Highway 22, just south of Interstate 10.
