Close
The highway bisects the sparsely populated Jefferson Davis Parish as it zigzags along rural section line roads. Roughly halfway along its route, LA 99 passes through the town of Welsh and an interchange with Interstate 10 (I-10), the region's main east–west highway. It also intersects US 90, an older parallel corridor that now acts largely as a business route in the area.
