Louisiana Highway 3197 (LA 3197) is a state highway that serves Terrebonne Parish. It spans 0.52 miles (0.84 km) in a southwest to northeast direction[1] along Bayou Black Drive in Houma between two points on LA 182. The route is now discontinuous due to the abandonment of a bridge crossing along the route. LA 3197 was part of the original alignment of U.S. 90 through Houma.

Route description

From the southwest, LA 3197 begins at an intersection with LA 182 and LA 315, also the intersection of Bayou Black Drive and Barrow Street, in Houma. It proceeds northeast on Bayou Black Drive between Bayou Black and the Houma Golf Course. At the intersection of Bayou Black Drive with Country Club Drive and Mulberry Road, LA 3197 turns northwest and shortly reaches a dead end at the former location of the Houma Canal bridge. The route resumes on the north side of the canal and proceeds northwest a short distance to its terminus at an intersection with LA 182, LA 311, and LA 312 (the latter two routes being concurrent here).

LA 3197 is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.

Major intersections

The entire highway is in Houma, Terrebonne Parish.
