[edit] Route description

From the west, LA 442 begins at an intersection with LA 63 north of Livingston. It heads east and intersects LA 1036 and LA 441, both of which it overlaps as it crosses various branches of the Tickfaw River. Further east, it intersects LA 43 and LA 1063 before crossing into Tangipahoa Parish. In Tickfaw, LA 442 meets I-55 at a diamond interchange (Exit 36) and shortly thereafter, US 51. After a southward jog of one block along US 51, LA 442 heads east again and intersects LA 1063 before crossing the Tangipahoa River. It ends shortly afterward at an intersection with LA 40 and LA 443 near Loranger.

LA 442 is an undivided, two lane highway for its entire length.
