Louisiana Highway 15 (LA 15) is a state highway in Louisiana. It spans north/south for 264.56 miles (425.77 km).
LA 15 begins as an exit from U.S. Route 167 just south of Lillie and heads due east towards Spearsville. From Spearsville, LA 15 turns to the southeast and shortly merges with LA 2 and LA 33 in Farmerville. LA 15 then turns southeastward again, leaves Union Parish, and enters Ouachita Parish. LA 15 then heads due south and merges with U.S. Route 80. U.S. 80/LA 15 then turns east through Claiborne, West Monroe and turns southeast and intersects with Interstate 20, southwest of downtown Monroe. LA 15 continues east-southeast through Ouachita Parish and passes through rural Richland Parish, where LA 15 turns due south and is joined by U.S. Route 425 near Archibald, in a concurrence which continues to Ferriday.[1]
On the way to Ferriday, while in Franklin Parish, LA 15 passes through Baskin, Winnsboro, Gilbert, and Wisner. LA 15 then enters Catahoula Parish, where it passes through the town of Sicily Island. The highway turns east and enters Concordia Parish through Clayton.
LA 15 intersects U.S. Route 65 just south of Clayton before splitting from U.S. 425 at Ferriday.
South of Ferriday, LA 15 runs parallel to the Mississippi River through Concordia Parish and Pointe Coupee Parish, where LA 15 ends at a three-way intersection with LA 1 and LA 970 in the town of Lettsworth.
