Top Worst Roads in Louisiana (my pick)

After that countdown surveyed from the roads throughout the nation, and Louisiana was worst of them all as far as roads go, I've decided to throw in specifics to which roads I deem horrible as far as smoothness go and pothole contents.

Canal Street, New Orleans

It's a pretty nice road in this area of the city facing the World Trade Center, but head north toward Lake Pontchartrain in the residential area and you're in for one hell of a bump and an ump! This was the first road that's ever made me hit my head on the ceiling of a car due to an unavoidable pothole. This road is littered with potholes. When driving here don't pay attention to the pretty houses and their Katrina waterline, nor the ancient iconic oak trees.........

Morganza Spillway, Highway 190

When major incidents occur near I-10 that involves the wilderness around the Atchafalaya Basin area, you can expect to take a major detour on highway 190, and once you do, you're in for the Morganza Spillway. This structure is one of many structures throughout Louisiana used to control the flooding of the Mississippi River. In other words, if it floods, they drain part of it through the spillway into the Atchafalaya Basin. The bridge that goes over this spillway has a bit of a rhythmic, yet concussive pattern that can wake even the heaviest of sleepers. If you have an old car that rattles already with loose parts, its ill advised going on this thing, being your car just might fall apart.

Between Lafayette and Atchafalaya Bridge

The Atchafalaya bridge is relatively smooth. If you tried to sense the patterns in it you probably could. But its only once you get off of it heading to Lafayette (or from) do you truly feel the road. The road isn't necessarily something to endure until you're getting on or off a few overpasses on this part. Its relatively rhythmic enough though to dose you with sleepiness.

Vermilion Parkway South of Maurice

Heading towards my hometown Abbeville, is the infamous Highway 167, also known as (recently even) Vermilion Parkway. The road from that last light out of Maurice to the smooth black pavement into Abbeville is just ridiculous. You can't even hear your radio but you can sureeee hear the explosive sound affects of the road, that's for sure. Although you can go as fast as the interstate on this road you might not want to. Its only rough southbound but northbound its relatively (ironically) smooth!
