Interstate 510 serves New Orleans East as a spur linking Interstate 10 near Little Woods with the Louisiana 47 Intracoastal Waterway bridge north of Chalmette. The freeway replaced Paris Road (old Louisiana 47) as the main north-south route in the area. Interstate 510 was constructed initially as the easternmost leg of the unconstructed Interstate 410 south New Orleans beltway. Louisiana 47 shields co-sign with the freeway along its entire routing.
Louisiana 47 continues south from the Interstate 510 Exit 2C diamond interchange with Almonaster Avenue onto the Intracoastal Water Bridge. The high arch bridge spans the waterway en route to Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish. Photo taken 06/10/06.
