Route description

From the south, LA 946 begins at an intersection with LA 37 (Greenwell Springs Road) in Baton Rouge. It heads northeasterly and crosses the Comite River before coming to an end at LA 408 (Hooper Road). Joor Road continues northward to an end at LA 64 (Greenwell Springs-Port Hudson Road)
