Louisiana Highway 3262 (
LA 3262) ran in a north–south direction from a dead end to a junction with
LA 611-9 in
Metairie. The route began on the north side of
LA 3139 (
Earhart Expressway) and headed north on Labarre Road across
US 61 (
Airline Drive) to its terminus at LA 611-9 (Metairie Road) in a neighborhood known as Old Metairie. LA 3262 was an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length. LA 3262 was formerly part of
LA 611-4, which originally included the entirety of Labarre Road, including a grade crossing with the
Illinois Central Railroad line (now the
Canadian National Railway). The crossing was closed to traffic in June 1957 following the completion of the parallel Causeway Boulevard (
LA 3046) overpass. Later, the construction of
Earhart Expressway (
LA 3139) through the area created a second barrier. In the early 1990s, La DOTD renumbered several highways whose routes had become discontinuous. The northern portion of Labarre Road thus became LA 3262 until being transferred to local control in 2010. ==Louisiana Highway 3263==
