Louisiana Highway 3021 (
LA 3021) runs in a north–south direction along
Elysian Fields Avenue in
New Orleans (
Orleans Parish). The route begins at North Claiborne Avenue, a junction with
LA 39 and
LA 46, and proceeds north along Elysian Fields Avenue. LA 3021 engages in interchanges with both
I-10 and
I-610, passing over the
Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) tracks in between, before ending at
US 90 (Gentilly Boulevard). It is a six-lane, divided highway for its entire length. LA 3021 is a vestige of the original plans for the Eastern Expressway, incorporated into the route for I-10 by the time of its construction in the 1960s, which would have connected
Eastern New Orleans with
North Claiborne Avenue via an expressway in the median of Elysian Fields Avenue. In the
pre-1955 state highway system, the proposed route was given the temporary designation of
State Route C-2200, changed to LA 3021 in the
1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering. The Elysian Fields Avenue segment, as well as a segment of Morrison Road that is now
LA 1253, were ultimately left out of the expressway plans. Though never connected, both retained the LA 3021 designation until the latter segment was given its own number in 2002. ==Louisiana Highway 3024==
