Louisiana Highway 611-9 (LA 611-9) is a member of the LA 611-x collection of eight very short state highways in Louisiana that serve Jefferson and Orleans Parishes. LA 611-9 spans 3.53 miles from west to east and is known as Severn Avenue, Johnson Street, and Metairie Road.
[edit] Route description
From the west, LA 611-9 begins at the northern intersection of US 61/LA 3261 (Airline Drive and Severn Avenue/Shrewsbury Road). After briefly heading north on Severn Avenue, LA 611-9 immediately turns eastward onto Metairie Road (the westbound lanes briefly use Johnson Street as Metairie Road begins as a one way street headed eastbound). Metairie Road runs west-east atop the Metairie Ridge. It passes under Causeway Boulevard before intersecting LA 3262 (Labarre Road) and Bonnabel Boulevard. It enters New Orleans/Orleans Parish before coming to an end at a diamond interchange (Exit 231A) with I-10.
With the exception of a brief divided, four lane section near Severn Avenue, LA 611-9 is an undivided, two lane highway in Jefferson Parish. It divides and expands to four lanes when it enters New Orleans/Orleans Parish and remains in that capacity until its terminus at I-10.
