Louisiana Highway 3089 (LA 3089) is a state highway in Louisiana that serves Ascension Parish. It spans 2.78 miles (4.47 km) in a west to east direction and is known in Donaldsonville as Albert Street and Marchand Drive.
Route description
From the west, LA 3089 begins at a junction with LA 1 and LA 18 in Donaldsonville. Immediately after passing Bayou Lafourche, it meets LA 308 and LA 945. Just after leaving the city limits, LA 3089 ends at an antiquated interchange with LA 70. Prior to LA 70's extension into Ascension Parish from LA 1 in Plattenville in 1977, LA 3089 was signed to the Sunshine Bridge. Originally, the road only included the bridge and connector ramps, starting at LA 48, crossing the bridge, and then taking present-day LA 3120 to intersect with LA 18 east of Donaldsonville. By the late 1960s, the route was extended westward on its present routing to connect to Donaldsonville, and in 1966, the route extended eastward to intersect with LA 22 near I-10.
LA 3089 provides a shorter and faster route for traffic travelling between LA 1/LA 308 (and points along Bayou Lafourche) and the Sunshine Bridge (via LA 70) and New Orleans (via LA 3127, just south of the terminus at LA 70). It is four lanes for its entirety, and is divided upon leaving the city limits.
