Route description

From the south, LA 47 (Paris Road) begins at an intersection with LA 46 (St. Bernard Highway) in Chalmette just north of the Chalmette Ferry landing. Continuing north, the highway passes LA 39 (Judge Perez Drive) before heading across Bayou Bienvenue and into Orleans Parish/New Orleans East. Shortly thereafter, it crosses the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet via the Paris Road Bridge or the "Green" Bridge. At the opposite end of the bridge, Interstate 510 begins, eventually passing US 90. The two highways overlap until they meet Interstate 10 at Exit 246-AB. From there, LA 47 continues northward to the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain. At that point, the highway becomes Hayne Boulevard. It turns west-southwest and runs along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain before ending at the intersection with Downman Road.
