Louisiana Highway 3278 (LA 3278) is a state highway in Louisiana. It spans 2.40 miles (3.86 km) and runs from south to north in the piney hills of northern Louisiana. From the south beginning at an intersection with LA 1, Highway 3278 heads in a northerly direction, wandering through the hills and Kisatchie National Forest en route to LA 490 near Galbraith. It is entirely a two laned road from LA 1 to LA 490, with a posted speed limit of 55 MPH. Created in 1955, the highway is a "road to nowhere," going from two unincorporated areas, with LA 1 having only local traffic mostly, and LA 490 ending at a dead end.
