Louisiana Highway 3131 (LA 3131) is a state highway in Louisiana that serves Pointe Coupee Parish. It spans 1.79 miles (2.88 km) in a south to north direction, and is located completely within the city limits of New Roads. It is known locally as Hospital Road, due to its close proximity to Pointe Coupee General Hospital. However, the hospital itself is not actually located on Hospital Road. It is located a short distance north of LA 3131, along False River Drive (LA 1).
LA 3131 provides a bypass of LA 1 as it passes through downtown New Roads. From a southern intersection with LA 1, it heads north and reunites LA 1 (which is then multiplexed with LA 10) less than two miles (3 km) later. It is the hub of modern commerce for the Town of New Roads. Businesses located along LA 3131 include fast-food restaurants, grocery stores, nursing homes, and other retail outlets.
It is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.
The posted speed limit on this road is 45 mph (72 km/h) for its entire length.
