Louisiana

US 80 closely parallels Interstate 20 for the entirety of its length in Louisiana.

The highway crosses the state line from Texas into Caddo Parish as a two lane road and crosses over to the south of I-20 without interchanging with the freeway. It passes through the town of Greenwood where it meets US 79 coming north from Texas, and these two routes are routed concurrently eastward from there to Minden. US 79/80 crosses over I-20 again, this time at an interchange, and enters the city of Shreveport as Greenwood Road. The highway passes over I-220 without an interchange and continues east to an intersection with Jefferson Paige Road where it expands to four undivided lanes and enters the main part of the urbanized area. US 171 ends at US 79/80 at the intersection with Hearne Avenue. At this intersection the road narrows to two through lanes. US 80 intersects I-20 again just east of here. At Mansfield Road (old US 171) the highway changes its name to Texas Avenue and angles northeast through an industrial area. The road skirts the I-20/49 interchange and expands to four lanes for its final approach to downtown. At the west edge of downtown, eastbound jogs one block east on Crockett Street and two blocks north on Common Street north to Texas Street; westbound jogs one block south from Texas Street down Common to Texas Avenue. US 79/80 passes through downtown Shreveport on Texas Street before crossing the Red River on the 1930s vintage Long-Allen Bridge and entering Bossier City and Bossier Parish.

Through Bossier Parish US 79/80 comprises a major urban and suburban arterial (East Texas Street) carrying a minimum of four lanes. In the eastern reaches of the parish, and continuing eastward into Webster Parish, it is a divided highway. The road intersects the east end of I-220 at an interchange. US 79/80 stays to the north of I-20 except for a stretch east of Haughton where it strays to the south for a period, skirting the north edge of the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant. At Dixie Inn the highway intersects US 371. In Minden US 79 separates from US 80 and continues its northeasterly trajectory toward Arkansas.

East of Minden US 80 crosses to the south of I-20 and serves the Bienville Parish towns of Gibsland and Arcadia. Entering Lincoln Parish, the highway serves Simsboro and Grambling before entering Ruston (via West California Avenue) and multiplexing with US 167 on a north/south couplet of streets (Vienna Street/Trenton Street) through the business district. US 80 resumes its eastward path on the north side of Ruston and exits the city on East Georgia Avenue.

Between Ruston and Monroe the highway serves the small communities of Choudrant and Calhoun. Now on the north side of the interstate, it enters Ouachita Parish and approaches the Monroe area as a two lane road. US 80 crosses LA 143 and enters West Monroe on Cypress Street, where it continues south into the business district and widens to a four lane urban arterial. At junction LA 34 (Bridge Street) US 80 makes a left turn, angling northeast, and crosses the Ouachita River, entering the city of Monroe. As Louisville Avenue it passes north of downtown, but the downtown area can be accessed via Business US 165 which intersects US 80 at North 5th/North 6th Street and becomes concurrent from there to the east. Louisville Avenue rapidly becomes a heavily commercialized urban arterial and remains so as passes through the city, eventually curving southwestward and meeting the intersection with Desiard Street.

As Desiard Street US 80 immediately meets mainline US 165, on its expressway bypass alignment, at a diamond interchange. Eastward from there US 80 passes through suburban areas until it meets LA 139, where it is forced to turn off its four lane alignment at an intersection which favors LA 139 traffic. Now a two lane road, US 80 continues east through the flat alluvial landscape of northeast Louisiana, passing through Richland and Madison Parishes and serving the communities and towns of Start, Rayville (intersection with US 425), Delhi (intersection with LA 17), Tallulah (intersection with US 65), Mound, and Delta.

Just west of Delta US 80 turns off its original route and runs a short distance south to an interchange with I-20. The original alignment of US 80 into Delta is now designated as LA 3218. The original US 80 Mississippi River Bridge remains active as a rail bridge but the roadway portion is closed to traffic. Today US 80 runs concurrent with the interstate around Delta to the state line, bypassing the town and crossing the Mississippi River bridge into Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Mississippi

Legally, the Mississippi section of U. Mississippi ( is a state located in the Deep South of the United States S. 80 is defined in Mississippi Code Annotated § 65-3-3. In Mississippi, it is called "Highway 80" and not "Route 80". The highway is mostly a 2-lane road in Mississippi. It is 2-lane from the state line at Meridian west to Brandon where it becomes a 4-lane road and continues, still west, as 4-lane through Pearl, Flowood, Jackson, and Clinton. Meridian is a city in Lauderdale County, Mississippi, United States. Brandon is a city in Rankin County, Mississippi, United States. Pearl is a city in Rankin County, Mississippi, United States. Flowood is a city in Rankin County, Mississippi, United States.

As a member of the inaugural class of US highways commissioned in 1926, US 80 was the first all-weather coast-to-coast route available to auto travelers. Year 1926 ( MCMXXVI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. For a time known as the "Broadway of America", its legendary history is second only to Route 66 in American highway folklore, as several significant historical events have occurred on or near Highway 80.
